#3 Rajon Rondo
Although his two campaigns in LA were blighted by injuries, Rajon Rondo was influential in the franchise's playoff run to the NBA championship in 2020. Rondo provided a calmness to proceedings and had the necessary experience to lead the Lakers alongside LeBron James.
Coming towards the end of his career, Rondo proved he still had what it took to be a floor general in a title-chasing side. Coming off the bench in the bubble, Rondo put up 8.9 points, 6.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in the Lakers postseason and shot at 40% from downtown. Despite playing as a backup point guard, the 34-year-old was still able to produce six double-digit scoring displays, including two in the Finals, and had more than seven assists in seven contests.
He is the most decorated point guard LeBron James has ever played with due to his all-round ability and is someone the Lakers leader would have hoped he could've played with more.
#2 Mo Williams
An underrated teammate of LeBron James was Mo Williams. Point guard at the Cavs in both of James' stints playing in Ohio, the former second-round pick was influential in helping the organization be the best team in the East throughout the 2008-09 and '09-10 seasons. Although they never reached the NBA Finals in this time, Williams averaged 16.8 points and 4.7 assists while shooting above 42.5% from downtown.
Throughout his career Williams was a steady scorer, averaging 13.2 points over 13 seasons and connected with 87% of free-throw attempts. He was brought back to play for the Cavs in their title-winning team and played 54 games as a backup to Kyrie Irving. While he was no longer able to replicate the same level of output as his earlier stint playing with James, Williams deserved his ring and saw it as an appropriate time to hang up his NBA shoes.
#1 Kyrie Irving
Disregarding their off-court issues, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were able to form a dynamic tandem that helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first championship in over half a century. Irving was able to control the floor, freeing up James to attack the rim and create space for the Cavs shooters.
In their 2015-16 title-winning season, Irving wasn't even named an All-Star but stepped up when called upon in the playoffs, averaging 25 points per game, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals. It was his shooting that was most critical in helping James win a ring for his hometown franchise, connecting with 44% of threes, 47% of field-goal efforts and the decisive trey against the Golden State Warriors in game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Although they would end up splitting on complicated terms, Irving remains the best point guard James has ever played with and arguably one of the best teammates he's ever had.
