On the floor, he fills the role of 3 players so, the only thing that will work around him are role players -> 3-pt shooters, rebounders and garbagemen. The best championship Bulls teams were constructed similarly.
That's a good summation. LeBron is an other-worldly player unlike anyone I can think of. He has a lot of overall similarities to Magic based on his height and overall skillset, but stylistically they could not be more different.
LeBron revolutionizes his position, but in a way that doesn't look pretty. You can see the things that a prime-Vince, or a Wade, or a Kobe or an MJ would do and it was a thing of beauty. LeBron's passes can be really pretty, but his scoring very rarely is. But he sure as hell is effective.
I prefer to see power play from my traditional power positions (other than of course dunking over people... anyone loves to see that by anyone). Maybe I'd like him better as a 4?
