You think Jordan, with this Cavs squad, would have won that game last night? That Jordan, on this Cavs team, would be able to do anything at all? 

It's a miracle Lebron even wins games with the team he's on.

Yes Jordan would have won.  He elevates those around him and is an absolute prick on the court.  He didn't have to always put a team on his back because they played to his expectations.  You put Lebron on a team they all shrink and lean on him.  I remember Chris Bosh as the Raptors 5 Time All Star not the shell of a player with the Heat and Lebron.  You look at who has played with and all of a sudden they play worse once Lebron comes to town?  Not the GOAT

While part of doesn't want to admit there is truth in this, I have to agree with this for the most part. Kevin love is another example of this.

However i think there is another angle that this point also presents. If you are saying that players lean on james when on his team, would that not make his accolades that much more impressive because his skill alone was responsible for the outcome as opposed to his leadership or what he demands from people? Just another angle to consider.
