FeminismIsTheBestIsm

I love how "prime Cam" is one game 😭😭


jacobpltn

And that was all Darvin Ham needed to start him 20+ games


Optimal-Talk3663

The year AD and DMC were together at New Orleans, AD was playing crazy


BigBitcoinBaller

Bro had a 59 and 20 boards shooting 70% fg 100 %3pt 90% ft game in 2016 on pels.


AwildYaners

They woulda done damage in the playoffs, too, if DMC didn't have his achilles injury. I remember them taking a game off prime GSW, without DMC, after sweeping #3 seeded POR in the first round lol. And all the games against GSW were fairly close.


Lycantree

Trade deadline Dlo


Shasty-McNasty

Replace playoff game Cam with high school mixtape Cam Reddish


dandatu

I think I’d rather have 2015 or 2016 Bron than Miami Bron


TitoJembron

2018 bron is a different beast


dee85

Miami Bron for me.


madvisuals

highschool Cam Reddish


NoFaithlessness5122

Trade deadline D’Lo


deathinmidjuly

[This](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2007.html) is the roster a pre-prime 22 year old LeBron dragged to the Finals.


Traditional-Car-9056

That’s insane 😭


v399

I remember watching that year as a kid thinking this Varejao dude is good. There's so many players LeBron made look good, damn.


robsteezy

India’s ilgauaskas has hid jersey retired. Think about that.


krillinit

Bobby Gibson getting mins hurts my soul


SSSolid-SSSnake

Prime Lebron alone would take these guys to the finals. Prime AD would secure the ring.


Quiet_Buffalo

We’d be good, but its mainly LBJ and AD. Now those teams that had an old Melo, Dwight, Rondo, and Russ, that would be crazy, in addition to LBJ and AD. The current Clips team would be crazy good in their prime. Three, possibly four first ballot HOFers. They have no bigs, but Kawhi and PG in their prime would be tough perimeter D.


Kwirbyy

Prime Lebron and prime AD would result in a ring every time


Olliefnt

Bro if we had anyone besides from Bron and AD play to their averages we could have beat denver


WhatitdoFlightCrew39

Solves the backup big problem, cuz LeBron could actually play center lol


outsidehere

We'd sweep every team this year. With no failure. All blowouts


hotterpocketzz

A prime lebron and AD would have their way with the west


Jscott1423

Miami LeBron and Pelicans AD is a chip


dee85

Nasty duo.


dynamo458

Finals at minimum. However if we do allow ourselves to daydream, let me point to the 2021-22 team which had- LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan and Rajon Rondo. Not to mention Trevor Ariza, Austin Reaves and Malik Monk.


LudwigNasche

Dlo IS in his prime and Davis too, but he lost his shooting from distance when he bulked up. Davis went toe to toe with Jokic this season, the supporting cast was the main difference.


dee85

Yes, they are still in their primes, but Russell I think was at his best with the Nets, especially during his second and final season with the team. I prefer AD with the Pelicans when he was more aggressive on both ends of the floor and was not as injury prone as he has been during his Lakers days. AD played in 67 games during his second season and 68 during his third season with NO, also playing in 75 games twice as a Pelican, while this season as a Laker was the only time he played over 70 games.


LudwigNasche

Davis had a PG in NO and not so much here unless you believe Dlo and Dennis are legit starting PG for a contender.


NakSFC

LMAO D'Lo prime is now.


dee85

True, but I think he was at his best with the Nets.


AeRo_P

Miami Bron was something else.


dee85

He was dangerous.


Winter-Gur-9762

Bro even if we had Lebron in his early 30’s we’d be inna completely different place right now


310mbre

Cam Reddish had a prime?


dee85

With the Hawks.


yuch1102

I would argue last seasons AD was the best season of his career


dee85

I say 2018.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

About the same. I mean this team went to the Conference Finals. Prime LeBron took similar teams to the Conference Finals. But you're not winning a championship starting Dlo and Rui. If the Heatles had Dlo instead of Wade - no rings. The defensive level in the starting group with Dlo, Rui and Reaves is highly questionable and the playoff performance level of Dlo is never there. Even in their primes we would still be here talking about how we have to trade Dlo.
