played in the NBA Championship (sans Irving and Love), but Lebron makes up for a lot of deficiencies. Davis isn't there yet, but he isn't far behind.
That is actually something we all love, but don't love about the NBA. We love having our stars to root for and against. We don't the love the lack of parity that it creates. Other than the Pistons, I am not sure there has been a team in the last 20 years that won without a top 5 NBA player.
