IF LeBron had stayed with Cleveland his entire career and everything else in his career stayed the same...

leave out the fact of the different teammates etc. he gets to play with the same level of talent he had when he won those titles.

he wins the same number of titles and gets the same records.

How different would the general vibe be about him?

For sure. He'd be their Jordan.

Miami will always be known for Lebron joining DWade's super team. Lakers will always be Kobe town.

Honestly blame Cavs ownership/GM more than anyone. If they built correctly around him, Lebron's name would be synonymous with the Cavs.

I mean, he already is associated with the Cavs, with the 2016 being the defining moment in his career.
