The smoke has cleared from the 2019-2020 season, and LeBron James has brought a championship to the third team he's played for in his career, while also proving to the world that at 36 years old, he's still the top guy in the league. As the saying goes, a good man three help, James can have such an achievement, his career partner teammates are also very important. This article will be James career partner of many helpers to inventory, we look at who is the King James career in the real "gold partner".
No. 10 Ricky Davis
Ricky Davis, James career understanding of most people will feel that this person is a joke of existence, when James to high school rookie status driving to Cleveland, the Cavaliers boss Ricky Davis actually spoke out of turn that James is to assist him, which obviously let the "little emperor" heart! And when James played a superb rookie season, the Cavaliers cleaned out Davis, who used to throw the ball at his own basket to get a triple-double, even more firmly.
But Davis is a man who is not a good person, but in his prime is also considered to be a powerful player, in the season before James came as the Cavaliers guard Davis averaged 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, which is the reason why he can be among the important reasons for this list.
No. 9 Shaquille O'Neal
O'Neal shouldn't be in this spot given his peak power and the magnitude of his career. But for O'Neal, who left the Sun for the Cavaliers in 2009, a season paired with James was clearly long past his prime. After being ravaged inside by Dwight Howard in the '09 playoffs, the Cavaliers learned the hard way that there is nothing inherently wrong with bringing a superb inside presence to James' side, but Cavaliers' management is sick and desperate to pin their hopes on the 37-year-old O'Neal.
O'Neal averaged 12 points and 6.7 rebounds in the Cavaliers' season, and his output was clearly not enough to help James, the most critical thing is that the Cavaliers' management envisioned using the Sharks to restrain the Beast in the playoffs, but the program has not been implemented yet, and then the Cavaliers have been sent home by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals in that era. The Cavaliers were sent home by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
No. 8 Carlos Boozer
Boozer is best known to Chinese fans as he and his Jazz team played the role of "Rocket's nemesis" for several years at the beginning of the year, and Boozer and Oku, the Jazz interior pairing, also made Yao Ming suffer a lot. And this and Yao Ming's All-Star power forward is actually out of the Cavaliers, in James's rookie season, that is, the 2003-2004 season Boozer in the Cavaliers has 15.5 points plus 11.4 rebounds double-double data into the account, and Boozer + James this set of young inside and outside the combination of the future of the East looks very competitive.
However, in the summer of 2004, Boozer reneged on his verbal agreement with the Cavaliers and signed a six-year, $68 million contract with the Utah Jazz, catching the Cavaliers by surprise, and Boozer has been nicknamed a "backstabber" ever since.
No. 7 Ray Allen
In 2012, the Celtics and Rondo and other teammates growing suspicion of the sharpshooter Ray Allen decided to move to the previous season just beat the Green Army's Heat, for the NBA's all-time three-point record holder James naturally welcome. Ray Allen, who was 37 years old at the time, doesn't have the same physical qualities that made him a flyer and a dunker when he was younger, but his cold-blooded 3-pointers can still be a killer in critical moments.
The last moment of Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, it was Allen received a pass from Bosh in the corner hit the tie-breaking three-point play, the Heat from the edge of the cliff back to win the sixth game, and ultimately the Heat beat the Spurs in the battle of seven, James was able to win a second consecutive title, the three-point play of Ray Allen can be said to have saved the career of James.
6th Kevin Love
In the summer of 2014 and James came to the Cavaliers at the same time Kevin Love is considered to be the representative of the "space type inside", he is the NBA at the same time took the regular season rebound king and the All-Star Weekend three-point competition champion of the only person so far, the Timberwolves period of the Love is also known as the "double-double machine".
LeFu's strengths and James' style of play form a benign complement, the defensive end of the LeFu is a high-quality rebounder, for the protection of the rebounds to make James in the defensive end of the pressure is greatly reduced, and on the offensive side, good at three-point LeFu is a breakthrough in James to open up the space after the "one-star four-shot" tactics of an important part of the 2015 playoffs is due to the LeFu in the series of games with the Celtics, and the Celtics were the only people who had been in the game, and the Celtics were the only ones who had been in the game, and the Celtics had been in the game. The Celtics in the series was Olynyk seriously injured missed the game, the Knights can only be in the finals to face the "Jedi seven knights" dilemma, if Love is not injured, that year's championship is still an unknown.
No. 5 Zajunas Ilgorskas
It is an indisputable fact that James' first Cavaliers' career was marred by few superstars, but as a member of the 96 Golden Generation, it is the quiet Lithuanian big man who has accompanied James for the longest time.
Long before James drove to the Cavaliers, Ilgauskas had already been named to the All-Star team. But after James' arrival, the Cavaliers' oldest player on the team didn't put up a fight like Ricky Davis, but willingly took a backseat to James' future superstar. The Cavaliers' seven-year teammate experience has made the relationship between James and Big Z very close, and even when James moved to the Heat, the big man still came with him, and the deep friendship can be seen.
No. 4 Kyrie Irving
One of the key reasons why James decided to rejoin the Cavaliers in 2014 was that he saw the superb potential of the team's top pick, Kyrie Irving. The Cavaliers are also the most gorgeous guards in the league, and the Cavaliers have been killing it with the Cavaliers, and in the 2016 Finals, it was Irving's three-point playoffs plus James' extreme hat-trick on Iguodala that allowed the Cavaliers to pull off a stunning comeback to win the title.
But the two honeymoon period did not last too long, in 2017, not willing to live under the people of Irving chose to transfer to the Celtics as a team leader, and off the court, as a former little brother Irving also often with James, the original big brother choked in the media. This year's Irving saw James lead another first-round pick in the Lakers to achieve greatness, I do not know how he will feel.
No. 3 Chris Bosh
As a member of the same 03 Platinum Generation, Bosh and James and Wade gathered in Miami was also seen as the 03 generation of the "brotherhood of basketball". Before joining the Heat, as a Raptors boss for many years, Bosh is already a 20+10 quality data inside player.
After joining the Heat, the low-profile Bosh for the team's victory is also willing to sacrifice themselves in the tactics, he also gradually retreated to the three-point line from the previous inside killers, became a space-type power forward, and his sacrifice has not been wasted, the two consecutive championships in 2012 and 2013 is the best return on Bosh's contribution.
No. 2 Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis, who joined the Lakers in 2019, helped the team win a championship in his first season with the Purple and Gold, and Davis' help to the team was immediate.
Strictly speaking, Davis in the James teammates is considered the first when the year of the very dominant inside player, his presence makes the opponent dare not to James easy to clamp defense, and from the data point of view, the face of the old and tough James Davis performance is no less: 2020 playoffs, Davis with an average of 27.7 points per game plus 9.7 rebounds and 1.4 caps of data domination of the interior, from the importance of the team degree, Davis has become the person who does not lose to James.
No. 1 Dwyane Wade
No matter how strong Anthony Davis' performance is, he still can't shake the No. 1 guy on this list, simply because he's Dwyane Wade.
The most important reason that attracted James to the south coast of Miami in 2010 was the presence of Wade, who, as a rookie in the same class as James, had a relationship that went far beyond that of Dwyane Wade. The relationship between James and Wade is far from being a teammate or a friend, and from the years of interaction between the two, their position in each other's hearts has even been like family.
James joined the Heat, because of the relationship between the style of play, the two in the tactical objective conflict, at this time, Wade is willing to let out the team leader position and unlimited right to fire, willing to give the ability to more than one of the best James played the auxiliary, their own more to play the role of the ball without the control, so the two superstars were able to work with the field of battle in the successive championships, and the classic James and Wei line, is the most beautiful memories belonging to that era. The most beautiful memories of that era.
