When else was it "stacked" ?
I agree. Just didn't think that argument would fly with this guy so I kept it simple lol
Imagine Klay Thompson as your 2nd best scorer and considering that team stacked. People are complaining about Jamal Murray as a 2nd option yet he's been offensively better than Klay in the playoffs. Yea Steph's teams are stacked. When Steph has a legit 2nd option like KD no one stood a chance. When Lebron has a legit 2nd option like Wade, Kyrie, and AD everyone else still beat him.
LeBron had a healthy Kyrie for two years and he went 1-1 (the 1 loss comes against the most stacked team ever).
AD has been healthy for two playoff runs with LeBron - they won the ring in 2020 and now are in a good position in the 2nd round.
The only time LeBron had a healthy 2nd option and he lost was in 2011 (outside of 2017). I love how Warriors fans talk about Curry beating Lebron and aggregate 2018 in there. Like 2018 Finals might have been the most lopsided ever in terms of talent, but yeah hurr durr Curry>>>>LeBron.
Curry has never been better or close to LeBron as a player. It is what it is.
