2026 NBA Season

That's every championship team does though, it's not about one player, they are a lot behind.

I remember during his early years with the Cavaliers, they were very dominant in the East but always fell short in the playoffs, especially when they faced the Spurs in the Finals. That was probably one of the main reasons he left for the Miami Heat. He knew it would be very difficult to win a championship in Cleveland with the team they had at that time.

We have Jordan-Pippen, Shaq-Kobe and other duos or big 3 in a team. That is also what Lebron did in the rest of his career.

Yes, he might have carried the Cavs in his first stint there, but it wasn't enough until he comes back with Kyrie. The thing with Lebron is his longevity in the game and up to now he says that he still loves it that's why he is pushing for another title run. This time with the Sixers.

LeBron had Bosh and Wade in Miami, plus a good group of supporting players.

Back in Cleveland, he had Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, and they also won a championship. So it was never just LeBron alone. But Cleveland only won once with that group, while the Warriors were still very dominant during that time.

And he got Anthony Davis, Caruso, Danny Green, McGee, and the one I remembered the most, Dwight Howard. Why? He was the one who punished Jokic defensively beneath the rim and helped a lot for the Lakers to win the Western Conference Finals. Without him, they may have lost to that team with Jokic having a phenomenal season.

He always got help, and they are not just role players; they are stars too. LeBron did carry the Cavaliers back in the day, but he lacked help because they did not have other stars there. That's why he always fell short and couldn't win a ring. When Kyrie came, that changed everything.

Right, Kyrie was the big difference with Lebron in Cavs. And then it's a healthy AD in the bubble. And so it was a really team effort for him as he can't carry it all alone. And this move on the Sixers just shows how intelligent Lebron is in choosing team.

And even if the process is not that healthy and can't play at least 80 games or more in regular season. Lebron still has Jaylen Brown and Maxey and Edgecomb to help him out and get another championship with another team and have his 5th ring.

Great observation because Lebron always had help with great players in NBA before, but there's different level of help on each team since in Miami we could see that he teamed up with declining wade and also injury prone on Miami and they've got expose by Spurs at that time.

While in Cleveland he have good help from Love and Kyrie, but the problem is they are facing a well stacked Warriors with 100% prime KD, that's why they struggle to win on them. But the fact Lebron dragged both teams on lots of finals series this somehow proves how really good he is as their leader.

I just think that a lot of people hate lebron because he almost overtake their idol, everyone needed help if they said MJ did not ask for help or request to get this, that might not be true because social media is not a thing that time, unlike today every single thing is a scoop, before they wont allowed it, before it was done by someone to get a player but for sure mj has something to do with it, every team that won the championship have role players big 3, that are not just ordinary players, so why are we always critical with lebron, the hate we gave him, just because he almost get the same ring or even better, if his teams sometimes lose their 2 star player, back in the day, the bulls are always better, they can sit MJ but still a super team.

People who are unhappy with themselves tend to hate on greatness.  It is just the way it is.  The people I know who hate on LeBron and say he sucks at basketball are the same kinds of people who say that iPhones suck or that Teslas are trash...  Some people just love to hate on the best for whatever reason.  It is just how they show their love and admiration.  If they really thought LeBron sucked, they would ignore him completely, not hate on him.

Don't forget that both teams he also played with Ilgauskas although he only played one season in Heat.

With regards with all of the teams that LeBron and his prime and other teammates in the prime. It's more of a talk that the hardest championship is with Dirk Nowitzki.

I admire the guy and in fact, my dad and I are a fan of it and bought jerseys of the Dallas Mavericks before they became a champion.

Who would not remember the big fella? He played with LeBron in Cleveland, and later followed him to Miami.
They reached the Finals twice together, once with the Cavaliers and once with the Heat, but lost both times. Sadly, Ilgauskas retired without winning a championship.

But that was also Dirk's first and only championship, unlike LeBron who won two championships with Miami, back to back.

The weirdest thing about that Dallas championship is Jason Terry tattooing the championship trophy on his arm at the start of the season even though they weren’t favorites to win. It worked out for him… I think having 2 seven footers is what enabled them to beat the Heat. I know LeBron and Wade wish they could get that one back.

I thought everyone forget that big guy.

While he didn't have that ring but I think that he's also made an impact maybe too little to LeBron but individually, no doubt LBJ brought himself wherever he is right now.

But that was also Dirk's first and only championship, unlike LeBron who won two championships with Miami, back to back.

That's true although I think that Dirk also faced the toughest super teams ever.

That seems to be a mantra for Terry and a foreshadowing and it did worked for the team.

It's a devastating loss for the Heat.

You can't avoid that situation since many people have reason to hate even we know how great he is.

That's why its good to appreciate his greatness while he's playing on NBA since LBJ is one of the kind. For sure we won't see another player which have same skill set as him for many years.

I this is common why they hate Lebron either they don't like his past decision leaving Cleveland and Miami, then also they are defeating their favorite and teams before. But any of those it does not erase the fact that LBJ is undeniably the best player on his era.

Speaking of tattooing a trophy on their arm, what will you say about this one though?

This is coming from a Philly fan where the regular season hasn't started yet, but he already put a tattoo on his hand. Lebron holding a championship trophy on his hand while wearing a Philly jersey. Jason Terry's case is a hit-or-miss, and it worked out pretty fine for him, but what about this one? He already predicted that the Sixers will win it all in the upcoming regular season, and he's so confident that he already tattooed it on himself.

I wonder what will this fan will feel if his team will lost in the playoffs. I wonder what will this fan will feel if his team will get swept just like what happened last playoffs. TBH, this is lowkey funny, but that shows how confident he is with the current roster of the Sixers. I just hope that the confidence will be converted into a title for his team.

Ok, no more rumor about Dillon Brooks going to the Sixers as it was reported that he agreed to a 3 year extension with the Suns for $73 million. Good deal for Brooks as when he played with the Suns, he really improved his game and he is their second option.

For Sixers, they acquire Lonnie Walker for a 1 year $3.3 million. Perhaps they needed some wing man and him and Lebron has experience before when both play with the Lakers. So it looks like the Sixers is still building up their second unit.

Some people really like to do this things like for example their BF GF, then after disappointment they will erase the tattoo, but most of the time i see people doing this , but they never erase the tattoo, its early to say they can win the finals but they have  chance if things are align and will not have a major issue along the way, they need to beat the east first before going to the finals, and for sure they really need a lot of help from everyone, this phily fans are different.

Would have been better if Dillon played with the Sixers because he brings so much energy, and almost every team he plays with seems to improve.

But of course if another team offers him more money, he will probably take the bigger offer. We have also seen many times how Dillon likes guarding LeBron, so seeing those two aggressive players on the same team would be interesting.

But salary is probably the main priority for a player like Dillon, especially since he has not experienced getting a max contract for most of his NBA career.
