    I'm honestly considering re-evaluating LeBron to some degree as well. He's gone from someone who you considered the number 1 guy, leader, possible GOAT, to in my mind...potentially a very very very good player who is better in a supporting role (Pippen on 'roids without the defensive prowess, Kobe to Shaq).

    Has there ever been a case before where three guys coming off 25+ PER seasons played on the same team? James Worthy only had one season with a PER at or above 20--and it was 20.0. Rodman never got above 17, although he was always about defense. Steve Nash's highest PER in Dallas was 22.

    PER isn't the be-all-end-all, but Chris Bosh is a legit star player. It amazes me he's getting compared to Horace Grant in this thread.

    Here's an interesting statistics-based article from Basketball-Reference.com:

    bosh was definitely not invisible for team USA. he wasn't a scorer. he was a role player. and he did a great job defensively. he was the best big man defender on the team. and while the international game is definitely different, his willingness and ability to do that seems like a good indication that he'll be willing to do more of that in miami when he's playing alongside 2 elite scorers.

    you're overthinking it. lebron is still the best player in the league. if the best player in the league is really just a 2nd option, what is the rest of the league?

    Nah, Ray is good, but about 6 years past his prime.
