Please don't compare Dame with Steph/LeBron who have 8 NBA titles between them. We all love Dame, but there has to be some reality to it as well. 137-173 in the last 4 years. So no, people wouldn't say that about Steph or LeBron, but they would have very good historical reason not to. Dame has been an incredible offensive player for the Blazers, but he is not on that level. Come on, you're better than that.
The titles don’t mean much given that basketball is a team game and Dame has never been on a team as stacked as the Warriors or the multiple teams that LeBron has chosen to play for. LeBron is obviously on a different level and has been since coming into the league as the chosen one. Steph is a better pure shooter than Dame, but the talent disparity isn’t so great that comparisons are inappropriate. I’d say that Dame on the Warriors would have earned similar ring counts as Steph, while Steph on the Blazers would still be searching for a ring.
Dame had a better individual season than both this year but ok. Where did i compare them over their careers?
There was never much chance of this happening, but the small chance that there was has evaporated. Say what you will about the Heat, but they show up once the playoffs start... (Except for that weird first play-in loss to Atlanta...)
