LeBron James
When Michael Jordan retired from the NBA after 1993, the Chicago Bulls went from 57-25 to 55-27. When Magic Johnson was forced into retirement because of obtaining the HIV virus, LA still made the postseason. When LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat, the 61-win Cavs set the record for most consecutive losses with 26 and finished 19-63.
There has never been a more important player to a single team than LeBron James. For his teams to win games, James typically has to have his team's top scorer, facilitator, their best or second best rebounder, and guard the other team's best player. He is the MVP of all-time.
