Irving as one of the NBA's historical famous champions, since entering the league in 2011 has been ten seasons, the eccentric Irving after leaving James, nothing, that year in the Cavaliers 2.0 period to join James in the Finals successfully reversed 73 wins over the Warriors, but after the defense of the championship failed, took the initiative to apply for a trade, because Irving does not want to live in the "shadow" of James, he wants to prove that even in the absence of James, he can also lead the team to win the championship, But this proved not to be the case, and Irving simply did not have the strength to lead the team to compete for the championship.
Irving, who was also about to be traded in the offseason, finally chose to stay in the team to continue to play, and recently said in an interview: "No one can win the championship with a single core, as strong as LeBron, nor can he lead the team to win the championship with a single core, he also needs helpers, this is my current understanding of him, I did not understand things when I was young, I did not understand these things, since I left him, my own experience in other teams, let me understand, how much pressure he has had over the years, to prove that he also needs reliable helpers." "Obviously, in Irving's view, no star can have the strength to lead the team to the championship with a single core.
Since 2011, when James joined forces with Wade and Bosh to join the Warriors with Durant, and then to the disintegration of the Warriors' four stars and became an era of double-core championships, James's career has been regarded as a success so far, the regular season MVP is like a bag for him, but his championship is indeed won in the case of stars joining forces. From the Heat's Big Three period to the Cavaliers 2.0 period to the Lakers' dual core, each stage has a star-level teammate to make a wedding dress for him, plus James has excellent leadership and super dominance, which has made his four championship journeys.
In fact, even if there is no star group of Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and other legendary stars, but also in the case of helpers to achieve the championship, this is as Owen said, Jordan won the championship period there is Pippen, Kobe won the championship period with O'Neal, Gasol, etc., the new century league can only be regarded as a single core to win the championship may only be 2011 season of Nowitzki and Leonard in the 2019 season, especially the 2011 season of Nowitzki like a god, From the playoffs to the finals, Lienke Kobe, Durant, James, Wade and other super giants.
Durant is Irving's only superstar helper since he left James, but the two have joined forces for three seasons and have not won the championship so far, and the best result is only in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
