re: Where does LeBron go after this season?

Yep. LeBron slayed the trio of Arenas/Butler/Jamison while MJ fell to Bird/McHale/Parrish.

Yep. That's what happens when Lebron's team won 50 games and MJ's had a losing record.

But hey, feel free to count it against Lebron for that.

Houston is the obvious answer. That team would be sick

Let’s go to finals every year and lose. MJ 6-0

Do I have to explain to you the difference between pre-expansion NBA vs. post-expansion NBA, or are you just so far up LeBron’s arse that I just shouldn’t waste my time?

Are you actually dumb enough to use expansion against Lebron?

Micheal played in the time of expansion.

Miami 1988
Charlotte 1988
Orlando 1989
Minnesota 1989
Vancouver 1995
Toronto 1995

All of these expansions watered down the NBA. Who benefited from that?

Lebron James at ages 4 to 10 or Michael Jordan.

Using expansion to boost MJ and against Lebron is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Michael got to go against a lot of players that should have bench players or out of the NBA. Meanwhile instead of established teams getting the top picks they went to expansion teams without much of a veteran presence at all.

Shaq, Penny, Mourning, Johnson, Laettner, Vince Carter, mcGrady, Rice, And Smith were all early in the teams history draft picks. These players started on teams that were within a few years of expansion.

So while MJ was better than any other player he did not have to worry about elite talent joining other stars.

LeBron benefitted from a watered down eastern conference that wasn’t very competitive until the late 2000s, and even then, the depth sucked.

Lebron has scared all the elite talent away. A 73 win team begged the second best player in the league to join them so they can beat Lebron. Otherwise Cleveland may have won last year.

I hope Lebron say FU to the NBA and Golden State and either joins Philly along with George and possibly Leonard, joins New Orleans and they keep Cousins, joins Boston with Leonard as the ship out Irving, or goes to the Houston.

He has made it to the finals 8 straight years and people still don't think he is the GOAT. This Cavs team is a top 5 lottery team without him. Instead because of him they are in the finals. Outside of 1999-2003 Shaq he is the only player i have seen in my 35 years of watching basketball that can carry a team of average talent to the finals.
