The man is truly made of balsa wood and wet toilet paper. Amazing. He owes LeBron everything for gifting him a ring.

AD was a monster in those bubble playoffs, so lets not rewrite history.

No one knows how he stayed glued in one piece for that run though. Maybe Lebron reinforced him with duct tape and thus deserves all the credit.

Well, it can be taken a step further and maybe the lack of pressure to be the "one and only" allowed for better management of his physical issues and allowed him to be at or near full-strength for those playoffs. We cannot discount the gravity of the greatest player of this or the last generation. One question that arises, that is really impossible to answer, is the KD question, that is, would LBJ and co. have won without AD, or with another player in his place? KD was a monster in the playoff run the Warriors won with him as well, but it is highly likely they would have won without him as well. Would the Lakers have won without AD? So the extension of that question is, would AD have won a ring without LBJ and the Lakers? That one is much easier to answer, absolutely not. So in many ways, it was still a gift.
