What's over the top? All I'm doing is pointing out he's had the EC on lock since 2010. That's a fact. You've got a guy in here who gave him a "C' in 2015 when he won the finals. Again when he won the finals. With that kinda anti LeBron sentiment I guess someone pointing out facts like I am is gonna stick out.
Saying LeBron is indisposable.
Well that's crazy if we're using the dictionary definition of the word but I'm not sure why you insist on defining that word outside of the context of the discussion we're having. In every day conversation people tailor words to fit the conversation they're having. That allows me for example to say that Jordan is "impossible" to guard, or that iverson "breaks" ankles. If you want to use these words literally then I'm incorrect because it is indeed possible to guard Jordan and iverson doesn't break ankles, but no one would say that because the context is clear. So in a similar context LBJ has indeed been an "indisposable" or "indispensable" player to his own teams, more so than any other player. He's indispensable in the exact same way that Jordan was indispensable, or how Duncan was indispensable, etc.
He is dispensable in a way that every player is dispensable. The methods that he uses in being "dispensed" makes him more valuable than he'd ordinarily be. James has left teams high and dry each time he has been dispensed. If he'd made his intentions known in the beginning then he could have been dealt so that the team he departs could receive a fair return in exchange for him leaving.
Any team will be hurt by the departure of a great player. If James would have told Cleveland or Miami that he was leaving neither of those teams would have declined as precipitously as they did. You can and I'm sure will argue that "he's LeBron James damnit" and as such owes them nothing.
Irving owes him nothing either. He was there for the first installment of the LeBron James vanishing act. He was the kid expected to pick up the pieces at 19 years old. He made sure that it wouldn't happen again by requesting a trade. Now let's see if a 33 year old LeBron James can get to the Finals with Kevin Love as his 2nd best player.
Boston will be the toughest opponent that he will have faced during his 7 year run through the East. No Irving nor Wade and Bosh to ride shotgun this time. Let's go. If Irving is as shitty of a player as you keep suggesting then James should have no problem running through the East again.
