^ I disagree. Ilgauskas had a really strong career in the NBA. He is a 2 time All Star and was the number 2 man on the Cavs team that got to the finals.
Through the transitive property we can deduce:
LeBron + Ilgauskas = Losing in the NBA Finals
LeBron + Wade + Bosh = Losing in the NBA Finals
Therefore Ilgauskas = Wade + Bosh <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Seriously now, if you are discussing the past 2-3 seasons then yes I agree that he was just ok, but his career in the NBA is something to be proud of.
Although Lithuanians will never admit it, he is one of the best Lithuanians of all time. The fact that he didn't play for the national team kills his shot at legendary status but it is certainly not due to his level of play.
He tried to play for the NT in the 2008 olympics but the Cavs blocked it from happening. Then the Cavs lost LeBron. Karma is a b*tch! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Maybe you're right but I still think he was, let's say -a little bit- above average player! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
By the way, in Cavs, behind LeBron was none. He went to the finals by himself! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
