CP3 really sticks out in my mind , he is on his second reset to win a title .   

Unless he decides to give up his massive money deal , and work for Rondo like pay check he may never have a ring.

I feel his last chance is with Bron .  He apparently likes money more.

When carmelo was on those run and gun nuggets teams he wasn't so bad

Idk what happened to him... he thought he was  superior to anyone

Not really fair to Westbrook.  When they played together, Harden and Oladipo were not stars and Carmelo was a shell of himself. 

To answer your question, definitely yes.  You can start with Barkley.  Played with Dr. J, Malone, Olajuwon, Drexler and Pippen to name the biggies.

James Harden?

He had Howard and CP3 in two different occasions. No championships.

The loss to GSW in the WCF when up 3-1 is, in my view, one of if not the worst collapse in NBA history.

Lebron hasn’t obviously won 3 titles, but just was thinking of all the talent he has played with so far

Wade
Bosh
Ray Allen
Love
Irving
Shaq
Jamison
The great one, Greg oden
Davis
Cousins
Rondo
Comically washed up Ben Wallace

That’s a lot of all star

Malone/Stockton playing together all of those years and falling short two times because of Jordan. Without Jordan, the Jazz easily win the title in ‘97 and ‘98.

Following that up by blowing a 3-1 lead on Cleveland was even worse.

I'd say there's a few if you go back through history...Malone/Stockton, Ewing, Sir Charles...they all had a dynasty in their way though. And when that dynasty wasn't there the Rockets were.
