Just because your a superstar doesn't entitle you to an automatic superb supporting cast.
For most people, it's not a function of feeling
sorry for him; it's a recognition that he's playing the sport at a level rarely ever seen. For many of us (certainly for me), there's an awareness that a certain contingent that harbors an irrational hatred for him wants to capitalize on the disparity between the two teams to deny his
individual greatness if the team
corporately fails to win the title.
They don't
want him to be great; they would rather edit the narrative to say that because this entire group of players, coaches, trainers, and executives didn't achieve the
collective objective, it can't possibly be the case that he is
personally great.
So the buzz about the caliber of his team is as much a recognition of his superlative play (seriously, people who can't objectively appreciate it just because they don't like him aren't even basketball fans at this point; they're anti-fans--fans of hating a player) as it is a backlash against that figurative cancer on the sport landscape. Subcultures like that make sports objectively worse.
