Hi Mir,

To give you an idea of how good Lebron James is, the last 2 years the Cleveland Cavaliers (w/Lebron) won something like 127 games. This year they set a new NBA record for consecutive losses - 28, formerly 25.

Duncan,

I agree LeBron is great, but the Cavs problems stem from much more than just losing LeBron. No one player is that vital to a team. A player can take you to the next level. For example turn a playoff team to a championship team or an ok team to a playoff team, but you don't tank from losing 1 player.

There are a lot of things you have to consider beside LeBron leaving. First off, the Cavs lost more than just LeBron. They lost Z, they lost Shaq, they lost Varejao to injury, they lost Delonte West, and they fired Mike Brown and brought in a new coach (Byron Scott).

They didn't bring anyone in to replace LeBron. True, you can't really replace LeBron, but say they would've got say Rudy Gay. That's a young and talented player who could've filled some of the void from LeBron leaving.

Lastly, the Eastern conference is a lot stronger this year than it was last year. The Heat, Bulls, and Knicks, I'm sure I'm forgetting some teams, are all much better than they were last year.

All of these factors, including LeBron leaving, contributed to the Cavs record setting losing streak.
