If he played with Kevin Durant for the rest of his career?

6+. Give Lebron any top 10-15 player and his team is unstoppable.

LeBron will need at least a KG or Gasol type to win a championship. It'll definitely happen, but it'll be straight manufactured just like Kobe's was this year and the C's last year.

Was about to post this exact same number. IMO, there's no middle ground with LeBron. He'll either win 983, or he won't win any. He's just that kind of player.

lol at lebron not playing defense. Anyway you use lebron at the 3 or 4 and durant at the 2 or 3. They would actually compliment each others game perfectly.

Wouldn't work, Lebron needs to play with players that don't care about their stats. If he doesn't get credit for all the teams rebounds assists and baskets he'll get over it quick.

Lebron needs to play with the Battiers of the league. Underrated overachieving. Lebron and Durant would be a bad move.

I think you have him confused with Kobe, who is exactly what you're talking about, a guy who cares about stats more than wins. If he isn't playing well, I bet he doesn't want to win.

Ive said it before and Il say it again, LBJ may leave the league with no rings. Unless he goes to a ready made team. Assuming Lakers have no injuries, they will be dominant for the next 5 years. Portland is also building a a nice team. Chicago is looking nice right now and will only get better. The Magic team is stacked and I dont see Cavs getting past them. This is not the MJ days, you need a team to win a Chip. LBJ will be great by himself, but it wont be enough.

LeBron will have zero rings if he plays with New York Knicks. Better stay in Cleveland.

I think Durant would spread the floor masterfully and while he may not get "enough" touches he seems like he could be deferential to a guy like Bronny
