Lebron
He gets to play defense cause he’s never the focal point on offense, he’s not the guy creating everything. In SA/Toronto he was in the system getting points and gets to chose when to play defense. Lebron is a way better defender when locked in than him as is Giannis both being better two way players. His offense is overrated as well dude can’t create for others that’s why his career high in assists is 4.9. No way he’s a better two way player than lebron/Giannis and I’d he switched roles with Harden he’d be exposed

The days of players changing franchises affecting their legacy are in the past. No one cared when Lebron won his first two ships in Miami before moving back for the one in Cleveland or when Kawhi won one in Toronto after leaving Pop just like no one will care when Luka leaves Dallas for the Lakers in seven or when Dame eventually gets his ring playing for a more functional franchise than the Blazers.
I mean cause before he got there nobody truly understood how good that raptor team was. We all thought he took a bunch of chokers to a ring but look at the this year and there record last year when he didn’t play. He was playing on a great team that we thought was average. If he stayed and won 2-3 more rings he’d be in the top 5 all time, now everyone knows how good that raptors team was and is.
C'mon man.
He's already a super star but top 5 all time is an almost unreachable group to join.
Duncan, Dr J, Bird, Kobe, the logo himself Jerry West, probably aren't top 5. A guy like Steph Curry probably isn't top 15.
Right now he's arguably top 5, 1st team All NBA. But historically we'll all have to wait. Better win some rings.

I’m not so sure it will though. The season after Webb had his knee surgery and we were running off win after win with a Brad Miller-Vlade frontcourt doesn’t mean that we didn’t need Webber in 2001 or 2002. What the Raptors are doing this season is awesome but we’ll see if they’ll be able to make a deep run without the closer that they had in Kawhi.
I’m not advocating a return to 80s Bad Boys Pistons style reffing but it does seem like there are more dumb whistles now than at any other time in league history. Also if fouls in the act of shooting threes were called in the 90s as much as they are now, Reggie Miller would have had multiple scoring titles.
