It is early but Jose Calderon is an exception not the norm. NBA coaches always like to think that players can develop a great shot but do you know how many college players came to the NBA, lost confidence and never turn into great shooters? A lot...

A lot of those teams you mentioned were not a 'superteam' but I am not going to get into that.
I don't remember Bird, Magic, Kobe, Duncan or MJ ever leaving their teams to join a team while bringing a superstar FA with them.. They all stuck with the teams that drafted them, LeBron didn't. That's the difference people will always point to. LeBron took the easy way out.
Now you could argue that a lot of those players didn't have to leave but MJ went to a crap organization at the time and turned it around... LeBron left then came back to a great situation. Big difference.
We all know you are a LeBronie but at least try to be a little objective.
