There might be some truth to this. I think it had a lot more to do with there just not being enough room for 2 iso ball guys. But consider the history....
-It was well known that Lebron his first time in Cleveland gave better privileges to his entourage than his teammates even got. Teammates can't possibly like that.
-Shaq claimed that Lebron did whatever he wanted to in practice, and that coaches could do nothing about it. Delonte West was apparently livid about the special treatment
-Rumors that the Cavs had to get rid of Wade because he was being an entitled ass and was a huge locker room distraction
Lebron definitely takes an entourage mentality. On the one hand, it's helped him assemble super-teams and get help for cheap. On the other hand, you have to wonder if that's a huge reason why he's had quite a few players he never got along with. I think he keeps his friends extremely close. That's kind of his mentality. I never sensed that Lebron had the same kind of relationship with Kyrie or even Kevin Love as he's had for even small contributors like Mike Miller. [Reply]

No one said they are not good but acting like they are the GOAT team is ridiculous. LeBronies will come up with any narrative to make the LeBron is GOAT argument.
Also, Might want to work on your math. They won 2-games in the series when Chris Paul was playing you idiot.
Besides it doesn't matter if you win by 30 or 2 a win is a win. You don't get more pts for a blowout win. It's just a win. [Reply]

What? Trash? Cavs have zero chance to win the series. No reason to prolong it and travel to Cali. LeBron is the best all around ever. Jordan has the better career but that doesn't mean LeBron isn't every bit as good. [Reply]
