The Ten Best Players LeBron Has Ever Played With according to Colin Cowherd:
(Rankings reflect direct or future contributions to Lebron James-led teams.)
10. Kyle Kuzma: “17 and 6 guy who is an efficient scorer from the floor. Kuzma is underrated.”
9. JR Smith: “Such a lethal three-point shooter and helped LeBron win that title in 2016.”
8. Ray Allen: “Ray Allen is one of the smartest players in the league and had championship pedigree.”
7. Zydrunas Ilgauskas: “Everyone forgets how good Ziggy was. He played the most games of anyone with LeBron. A 13 and 7 energy guy who was LBJ’s best teammate in that first run in Cleveland.”
6. Rich Paul: “Founded Klutch Sports and energenered the Anthony Davis trade that rebooted LeBron’s seemingly paused career.”
5. Kevin Love: “Never forget his 14 rebounds in the Game 7 versus the Warriors. Averaged 17 and 10 with LeBron and is for sure a Hall of Famer.”
4. Kyrie Irving: “He’s a flake but he had that clutch three-pointer in Game 7 in 2016. LeBron has absolutely elevated LeBron’s career.”
3. Chris Bosh: “11-time All-Star and won two titles with LeBron. He was gonna be in the playoffs every year with or without LeBron.”
2. Anthony Davis: “Is the ‘everything’ big and is going to average 25 and 12. Can shoot from the outside, hit free throws, and can defend the pick-and-roll.”
1. Dwyane Wade: “Two titles with LeBron and allowed the Heat to be LeBron’s team. Kyrie couldn’t do that and that’s the difference between Wade and Kyrie. The mental toughness made him a Top 20 All-time player.”
