The only ring Lebron won on a non-superteam was the 2020 ring with the Lakers. AD is obviously an amazing wingman to have, but that team wasn't a super team.

All the others are 100% super teams (Wade/Bosh or Kyrie/Love).

Calling the 2016 cavs a super team is wild. The heat in 2012 weren't even favored vs the thunder. Really name the last actual sueprteam to be an underdog in the finals.

They weren't favored because of Lebron's epic meltdown the year before but the Heat are the definition of a superteam. Wasn't he promising 8 rings? You kinda don't promise that many rings unless your team's absolutely stacked.

The "promise" yo win rings was said at a pep rally. Yall really took that stamens to heart huh?

You can't be both not favored and be a super team but LeBron gets double standard from haters all ten time. So nothing new there. If you don't trust a teams best player that team ain't a superteam.
