Of course if he had good teammates then his numbers would be affected as another solid big man would grab a lot of rebounds and a solid guard would carry a lot more of the scoring load.
What's your point. Obviously AD isn't going to put up 40 and 15 for a good team, but he can still average 25 and 10 with good teammates.
Can't have it both ways. Go on and on about his amazing numbers and ignore the fact that his team is losing.
LeBron carried a pretty mediocre Cavs team to the finals which was much more impressive than whatever AD has done in a couple of games.
No one is saying 23 y/o AD is as good as the 2nd best player of all time.
