He is known as a man with his own system, and his value is underestimated when he changes teams.

NBA legend Ewing said in an interview column: "He is a very talented player who can make many wonderful passes in the game, which allows him to effectively drive his teammates in the offense and create more scoring opportunities. A man who truly has his own system in the NBA"

And this man is LeBron James!

In 2003, James was selected by the Cavaliers with the first pick in the first round, and he has played for the Cavaliers for 7 seasons. Before that, the Cavaliers were a bottom team that even struggled to win! In the 202-03 season, he only won 17 times and ranked last in the league, with both offense and defense efficiency at the bottom. With the arrival of James, he entered the playoffs 6, entered the Eastern Conference Finals 4, and entered the finals 1! Although he did not lead the team to win the championship, his arrival also gave the Cavaliers a qualitative leap.

When he switched to the Heat in 2010, the team only had 47 wins in the regular season of 2009-10, entering the playoffs as fifth in the West. Although Wade played bravely (average of 33.2 points and 6.2 assists per game), he still lost to the Celtics in the first round and suffered a 4-1 gentleman sweep! After joining, he won 58 wins in the first year and entered the Eastern Conference Finals. The following year he won the championship, winning two championships in four years with the Heat and maintaining a 100% promotion rate in the finals.

Returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, the team won only 33 wins in the 13-14 season, Irving missed the playoffs with a single core. After James returned, he won 53 wins in the first year and reached the finals. In the third year, he was the only miracle in history that he fell behind 1-3 and reversed 73 wins in the Warriors! Then Irving ran away from the Celtics, James led the team to defeat the Celtics alone and rushed to the finals again.

Finally came to the Lakers. The team missed the playoffs for five years before joining, and had only 35 wins in the 17-18 season. The second year after joining, he won the championship for the Lakers (2020), ending the team's ten-year championship drought.

Looking at James' team change trajectory, a key fact is: after he switched the team, the team's winning games increased by 15+ games, and after each change, he reached the finals 100%. This is in sharp contrast to Durant joining the Warriors - the latter joins a team that has won 73 times, and its role is more like "icing on the cake".

So, why can only James repeatedly break the curse of "changing teams requires running-in or even failure"?

Just like Ewing's comment on James at the beginning of my article - the walking team system! Teammates just need to adapt to him, and Durant is a plug-and-play player. The data proves this: James' team's offensive efficiency has always been among the top five in the league. His career average of 27+7+7 and four basic data (scoring, rebounds, assists, and steals) have all entered the top twenty in history, demonstrating his unique value as the only "all-round axis" in NBA history.

When we turn our attention to the experience of other superstars' team changes, James' success is even more precious, like a "demon mirror", illuminating polarization. Durant made the Big Three with the Nets and the Suns, but the result was that he stopped in the second round and was swept in the first round. Harden joined the Clippers to form the Big Three and was eventually eliminated in the first round. Westbrook joined the Lakers to form the Big Three. Not only did his efficiency decline sharply, but the team also missed the playoffs. In the end, he lost his value and finally had to join the Nuggets with a minimum salary!

These cases reveal a cruel truth: since Drexler joined the Rockets to win the championship in 1995, there has been no case in which the NBA will win the championship immediately after changing teams for 27 years. Durant himself admitted: "It is too difficult to win the championship immediately when changing teams."

Therefore, the ultimate answer to the second person in history may be: James redefined the "window of winning". While other stars are still struggling with the "adaptation system", he used the ironclad facts of three team exchanges and four championships to prove that real super giants do not need to rely on any system, because they are the system themselves.

As famous speaker Smith emphasized: "Jordan's greatness is indisputable, but the strength of the opponent James faced in the finals is the best in history!" His milestone of 40,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists that shocked the past and present set an insurmountable benchmark for latecomers!
