Shaquille O’Neal, Antawn Jamison, Delonte West, a young J.J. Hickson, Shannon Brown, Daniel Gibson, an All-Star season out of Mo Williams … The Cavs tried and they tried and they tried, but they couldn’t put championship pieces around James the first time. The NBA has always been a star-driven league, and the Cavs couldn’t create enough stars before the clock ran out.
