The combination of Magic and Abdul-Jabbar can be said to be a strong combination of the league, having won 5 championships for the Lakers, and Abdul-Jabbar is 12 years older than the Magician, so the question is, O'Neal is also a historical center, and he is also 12 years older than James, why is James not capable of leading O'Neal to win the championship?
When the Magic took Abdul-Jabbar to the championship, in the 79-80 season, Abdul-Jabbar was only 33 years old, averaging 24.8 points and 10 rebounds per game, and that season was still a regular season MVP. O'Neal was 38 when he arrived for the Cavaliers, averaging 12 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Is this okay? The 1980 Lakers also had powerful players like Jamal Wilkes, Norman Nixon, Michael Cooper, and spencer Haywood, a member of the 1968 Olympic men's basketball team. O'Neill can't do it at 38 years old, Abdul-Jabbar still has the strength to fight a war at 38 years old, and people can't compare with people, and some people retire at 30 years old.
32, 33 O'Neal, the Cavaliers also won the championship, not James can not move O'Neal, it is the age of O'Neal, in the East can not play to prevent Howard, facing the overall defense of the Green Army, there is no role. The style is not the same, Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar is a skill-based style of play that does not depend on physical fitness, O'Neill's strength style of play, after the peak of the sharp decline, it will only be a year worse than a year, in fact, the shark is indeed invincible at the peak, but once the peak is not ok, and Jabbar has always been very average, the state remains very good. Who can the Cavaliers benchmark against the 50-big Vassie, dpoy Cooper, and Byron Scott, that is, Jamison, and Little Mo can barely take the table, and the big Z retired a year later.
Comprehensive factors! For the Cavaliers, the best time to win the championship should be James' rookie season, when James was a good instant fighter and the salary was low. At this time, handing over the hand and trying to attract reinforcements, the Cavaliers are hopeful. But from the 03-05 season to the three seasons, the Cavaliers' salaries were 25, 23, and 26, respectively, and the league was at the bottom. It wasn't until the 2006 season that the Cavaliers boss suddenly increased his investment and instantly put the Cavaliers' salary into the top five in the league. But it was too late, when Hughes, who was signed by the Cavaliers in 5 years and 7000w, was injured twice a season and rested more than forty games in total, and his form declined. And James is no longer a child laborer and has a maximum salary. At this time, the Cavaliers had a max salary James, and a poor state of quasi-maximum salary long contract Hughes, locked up the salary space. The subsequent reinforcements were very unfavorable: the bulls traded 1550w for big money, traded West was stuffed with a 1377w Szebiac, and exchanged 1550w big money for 2000w Sharks. The knight touched the garbage contracts of those years.
An important space problem, james did not shoot that year, the inside O'Neal, the big z station pile blocked the breakthrough route. Xiao Mo can't play without the ball in his hand, and James is the same. To say that the lineup is much worse than the Celtics, it is not necessarily true, the depth of the lineup is enough, each has its own advantages. It's just that James is still young, and the team is temporarily patched together, not pinched together. 10 years of Kaizi offensive and defensive balance, inside Garnett, Perkins, front Line Pierce, guard Ray Allen, Rondo, plus the so-called single defense Kobe Bryant's best Tony teacher, and big baby, Nate, that seven is the best game I have seen in addition to 16 years, the Cavaliers at that time can not play very normal, I also can't understand the Operation of the Cavaliers, maybe it is really because Cleveland is too small, except for the trade, no one will come.
So it is normal that James and O'Neal did not win the championship, O'Neal wanted to hold old Zhan's thigh when he was about to retire, but the bones were brittle and could not run old Zhan, there was no way, a team weakness you called old Zhan how to do? This pot old Zhan does not carry. O'Neal has run out of speed and attack in the Cavaliers climate, dragging down the whole, and the elderly Jamison, the old short center who the Pistons have transferred, are all on the verge of retiring players that no one wants. There is no need for black James, and if Kobe Bryant leads such a team, it is difficult to win the championship.
