So, James gets the blame when his teammates aren't good enough to win in the postseason, and when they do win, James' teammates get the credit?
This is even worse than judging individual players by team success. This is judging an individual player by team success ... unless the team has success, in which case the credit goes to his teammates. It is not a reasonable, fair, or consistent way to assess players. (And, as always, I don't see anyone applying the same ever-shifting "standards" to Michael Jordan. After all, by the same logic, the difference between the Bulls not winning the NBA title and winning NBA title was not the play of Michael Jordan, it was the development of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, and BJ Armstrong and the later additions of Rodman and Kukoc.)
Over the last three games of the Pacers series, James averaged 32.7 pts, 11.3 rebounds and 8 assists, shooting 55 percent. Wade averaged 33 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists, shooting 62 percent. Wade was excellent, but the suggestion that anyone other than LeBron James was the most important factor in the Heat winning those games and that series just shows how unfair and inaccurate criticisms of James are. It doesn't pass the laugh test. It's the invention of new standards, new barriers to greatness, that are not applied to other players.
