How much influence is LeBron James? In the past 21 seasons, LeBron James has changed three teams. The Cavaliers are the longest he stayed. The 03-04 season was the first time that James entered the league. This season, as a rookie player, James can only lead the Cavaliers to 35 wins and 47 losses. This is also the worst record for James in the Cavaliers. After the 04-05 season, James gradually adapted to the NBA, and the Cavaliers winning rate he led was rising. , Never fell below 40 losses.
In the 06-07 season, James led the Cavaliers to the peak. In the regular season, they scored 50 wins and 32 losses and entered the playoffs with the second place in the Eastern Conference. However, they are a young team after all. In the finals, The Cavaliers lost 0:4 to the old Spurs. The famous sentence that the future is yours comes from what Duncan said to LeBron James after James lost in the finals. Since the 06~07 season, the Cavaliers have Although they still make it into the playoffs every year, they are always close to the finals.
After all, that era was an era when single-core stars could not win the championship. LeBron James couldn't help alone, and the team could not attract a particularly strong helper for James. The loss of the playoffs every year has changed LeBron James' mentality. After the end of the 09-10 season, LeBron James finally lost his patience. He decided to take his talent to the South Coast Miami Heat, and the Cavaliers 1.0 era ended.
Although the Cleveland people like LeBron James very much, the so-called deep love is hateful, when James made this decision, fans burned his jersey. After the Miami Heat became famous, James decided to return to the Cavaliers again to help his old team win an NBA championship. In the 14-15 season, James returned to the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers quickly organized trades and brought strong help to James. They did not disappoint in that season. They scored 53 wins and 29 losses in the regular season and successfully entered the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the Cavaliers swept the then Eastern strong Eagles and successfully advanced to the Finals. However, unfortunately, as Love Irving was reimbursed for the season, James lost four hands with two punches and finally lost in the Finals. In the 15-16 season, the Cavaliers made a comeback. Although Irving was absent for a while, the Cavaliers also achieved 57 wins and 25 losses. They were unstoppable in the playoffs. Lian Zhan won in the finals and faced the old rival Warriors at 1- 3 After falling behind, it made a comeback and successfully won the championship.
In the next two seasons, even if Irving leaves the Celtics, James still has a winning percentage of over 60% for the Cavaliers. In the 17-18 season, James also brought a group of starters that the outside world felt could not take a shot. In the finals, James, who can only hold a group, finally proved himself. Many people will say that the East is weak and the West is strong. James has eaten the dividends in the East. Then we will look at Kyrie Irving, who is also the No. 1 pick. Irving entered the league in the 2011-2012 season. , Began his career.
Before James came back, Irving was the absolute core of the Cavaliers, with unlimited firepower. However, the best record of the Cavaliers for three consecutive years was only 33 wins. The Cavaliers led by Irving are at the bottom every year. Perhaps Irving is not like James. Such a helper, but when James was in the Cavaliers 1.0 era, he was also able to lead the Cavaliers to the Finals with a single core, and the Cavaliers led by Irving could not even see the hope of the playoffs. Perhaps it was James' excellent record after returning to the Cavaliers, which made Irving mistakenly believe that his ability to lead the team was not bad, and he wanted to be the team leader every day.
Owen, who went to the Celtics, has such a good lineup. He has not passed the second round in the playoffs, but it has brought chaos in the dressing room. Owen is born to be a second-hand only, he must recognize In our own position, we used to think that the 15-16 season was only the beginning of Irving. We didn't expect it to be Irving's peak. Without James, he really didn't do anything. After James Owen left, the leader of the team was naturally Love. Love at the Timberwolves was a top 20+10 insider. However, at the Timberwolves, he could not even make the playoffs, which further reflects that James is Real thighs.
The guard selected by the Cavaliers in the 18-19 season, Sexton entered the league, but not all guards can have LoebWith a player like Long James, the Cavaliers seem to have a good lineup. There is a lottery pick Sexton on the back line. The team center Tristan Thompson is still in his prime, plus All-Star Kevin Love , The team has both inside and outside, but Love and Sexton teamed up in exchange for the Cavaliers to only get 19 wins throughout the season. Sexton is a famous player in the NBA, his brainless breakthrough Let the Love team feel helpless.
With LeBron James and without LeBron James, the Cavaliers are completely two teams. Without James, the best record of the Cavaliers is equal to the worst record of the James Cavaliers. If we can’t explain that James is great, then we will Look at Anthony Davis. When Anthony Davis was at the Pelicans, he was the best big man in the league. However, the Pelicans couldn't even make the playoffs. After teaming up with James, they won the championship directly. From all aspects, James has proved to us that he is a superstar across the ages, and even his career is no longer under Choco.
