Whats your take now on magic?

Question

Comparing the Lakers who played with Johnson in his first seven years to the Cavaliers who played with James over the same period. Johnson's teammates, in aggregate, had:

Two first team All-Rookie selections (Byron Scott, James Worthy)
11 All-Star appearances (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar seven times, Norm Nixon twice, Worthy, Jamaal Wilkes)
Four All-NBA first team selections (Abdul-Jabbar)
Two All-NBA second team selections (Abdul-Jabbar)
Five All-Defensive first team selections (Michael Cooper three times, Abdul-Jabbar twice)
Four All-Defensive second team selections (Cooper three times, Abdul-Jabbar once)
One MVP Award (Abdul-Jabbar)
In addition, Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy, Wilkes, Nixon, and Cooper all got votes for MVP at one point in time or the other during Magic's first seven years, and Cooper won defensive player of the year in Johnson's eighth year.

A similar analysis on James' Cavs' rosters:

Zero first team All-Rookie Selections
Two All-Star game appearances (Mo Williams, Zydrunas llgauskas)
Zero All-NBA first team selection
Zero All-NBA second team selections
Zero All-Defensive first team selections
One All-Defensive second team selection (Anderson Vareajo)
Zero MVP Awards


Ofcourse Magic wouldnt have called Larry and Michael because he already had a great team unlike Lebron

Answer 1

This tells me LeBron did what he had to do regardless of what other people have to say to get what he wants....the ring. The NBA is much more competitive, in my understanding, compared to the Magic and Jordan eras. It's not so much like how it was were just a hand full of teams dominate. And it is much easier for them to say all this because they have 11 rings between themselves.



The Lakers, Pistons, 76ers, Celtics, Rockets were pretty much the whole NBA during the Magic era. Magic had Kareem from the start and later on Worthy. He won a championship his first season in LA as the leader and Finals MVP. Magic had 3 Hall of Famers in their prime all at once. The best PG and the best Center (arguably in history) with the addition of one of the greatest SF's and clutch players of all time in Worthy. That's three 50 greatest players of all time in one team. If I had a championship team like that already, of course I wouldn't want Bird.



Michael on the other hand has little more room to talk. His situation was more similar to LeBron's. He and Pippen didn't start winning championships to the 90's. But even then Michael and Pippen are still 2 of the 50 greatest of all time. And with the addition of one of the greatest rebounders and defensive players of all time one Rodman, the Bulls became an even better.



LeBron has never been surrounded with great players, players of championship caliber.



I would of preferred for LeBron to stay in Cleveland, but this is LeBron's legacy, not mine or yours. He wants to complete it with championships. We have to respect his decisions.
