That's been my point all along. He doesn't have to do jack shite to make the finals every year because the EC is so damn weak

Also, imagine if MJ or LBJ played in today's stacked west.

Amazing how the narratives would change.



The east was pretty good back then

but its just embarrassing bad now

Lebron could carry any playoff team in the east at least to the conference finals.

The grind of the west no way he makes all these finals. Can't blame him for picking an easy hunting ground.

Everyone is pointing out that you are conveniently forgetting MJ played college ball.

You are also forgetting that Lebron picked his teammates

He's smart for never venturing West.

Exactly. Its not even close. This Cleveland team would not have made the playoffs in the west this year IMO. The amount of games LeBron took off would have ruined them. I would think of them like OKC this year. OKC would have been top 5 seed in the east easily iMO.

That is patently false. I should have added late '80s to my other post, but the point remains. '80s/'90s NBA has been slammed multiple times on this board by the same people who deify Jordan and think no one can be as good or better than he was.

No matter what team they played for, they'd always be a transcendent player....but in a field of teams that could go toe to toe with them every night.

If LeBron played for the mid 2000s Suns teams he's easily making 2 Finals.

MJ played on loaded rosters for most of his career. LeBron played on horseshite teams for half of his career. Lebron would've won titles with the Bulls, just as MJ would've won titles with the Heat. Elite players find a way to, and win, championships.

Lebron has accomplished things that MJ wasn't capable of, just as MJ accomplished things LeBron will never accomplish. As of today, MJ is the GOAT. His GOAT status, however, isn't set in stone. Let's enjoy watching LeBron in the mean time.

Ive learned when someone has lost an argument the only thing left to do is accuse said person of trolling

But thanks for your contributions

Just check this guy's post history regarding this subject. He's not worth the energy.

A healthy Wiz team beats them.
