I would say KG, Paul and Ray coming together is what started it all.

Lebron changed player empowerment now players basically get traded to wherever they want, even with years left on there contracts. It’s a gift and curse some players use the power the wrong way one thing can go wrong and they just demand to l leave instead of sticking it out like Kobe had to. It’s players like James harden just soul searching team to team every year back in the days stars weren’t just floating around like that

The fact is that he left Cleveland they hated his a**, burned his jersey then he went back and them backwards a** fans singing kumbaya lol then he left again and they applaud him 🤔🤔🤔 smh that’s like when a dude cheats on his wife with his side chick then once he get tired of her, his wife welcome him back home and they throw a party..really n*gga!

‘The Decision’ mostly affected the Lakers, Thunder, and Spurs because Commissioner Stern veto’d the CP3 to the Lakers in order to allow LeBron to do his thing, the NBA did not like Kobe, they wanted to usher in the LeBron era. OKC in 2012, had it not been for the Heat, would have won the NBA championship and started a dynasty, they keep Harden if they win a ring. And of course the Spurs would have possibly won 2 during that 2013-2014 run, everything came together for them.
It gets tricker to predict after that but KD definitely doesn’t go to the Warriors, the whole ‘superteam era’ thing doesn’t kick start, the Celtics were not the ones who started it, that was 3 top 30 guys in their 30’s being brought together by management through trades, not 3 top 15 dudes in their mid 20’s colluding like the ‘Heatles’ did. LeBron made a 2nd superteam in Cleveland and then it just became the norm, luckily Steph and Giannis took the torch from Duncan and Kobe, build the Dynasty yourself, have people come to you, don’t go run and have to ‘learn to win’ or run when the going gets tough like LeBron and KD.
I hope the next generation is more like Jordan, Kobe, Duncan, Steph, and Giannis, and less like LeBron and KD.

There’s never been a more overly-scrutinized, over-analyzed, dissected athlete in history. July of 2022, and they’re yapping about Lebron in 2010. I’ve never seen anything like this.

People always say Steph changed the game but I would say Lebron move to Miami was more impactful than the increase of 3 pointers. The nets, sixers, clippers, lakers were all constructed because of player empowerment.

Dirk single handedly destroyed that Big 3 in the 2011 finals. It was enjoyable to watch.

lebron finish his contract before he leaves not like KD that has 4 yrs in his contract lol. even kyrie leaves him before he did not ask to trade him in a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM like GSW LoL. and for the record lebron picks a weak team and not a championship team like miami they won in 2006 but wade got injured they have the worst record in 2007 then 2008, 2009 first round exit in the playoffs then 2010 lebron came. lakers we all know what lakers is before lebron came.
