There are plenty of times in his career where Lebron was the best player on the court but his team lost the series. McDavid is Lebron.
I’ve been a Flames fan in large part because of how much I hated Gretzky and the Oilers growing up. But I think I can be objective.
You saw the expressions on Darryl and Tkachuk after games. Give them the choice of McDavid or any other player on Earth for one season, they prob wouldn’t think twice. They aren’t gonna say that about 2022 Makar.
Obviously it’s subjective to large degree in determine best players, greatest of all times, etc etc. but to me it’s clear McDavid is one of the best hockey players I’ve seen in the 35 years I’ve followed the sport. MacKinnon, and more so Makar… not yet IMO.

Until McDavid wins hardware that's not of the individual type he is not Lebron. As I said in another thread, you want to make a comparison to other sports then McDavid is Dan Marino.
