I hear people saying all the time, "Making the finals is an accomplishment in itself. Jordan only made 6 finals because he wasn't good enough to make more." Blah. Blah. Blah.
The fact is, making the finals for Miami is not impressive. Eastern Conference teams won 37 percent of their games against the West (166 out of 450 overall). And it could have been much worse. The East won less than 30 percent of games through early December. Only in 1948 did the West rule the East by a considerably greater margin.
We all know the East is an embarrassment to basketball and the Heat have an absolute cakewalk to the finals every single season. Put any elite player or team in this conference and they will walk to the finals year after year. Jordan would've make the finals in this conference in his rookie year.

Good one.
Kobe can be MVP next season.
If anyone can do it at this age after those injuries, Kobe has the skill to do so.
Top 5 all time.

Nothing was more embarrassing than Lebron's non-words of wisdom.

LeBron as a single player already has accomplished more than the entire Knicks franchise

heat won convincingly though. swap conferences between the spurs and the heat and we would have the same finals matchups past 2 seasons

Getting to 4 Finals in a row is impressive. A dose of context for the Heat's run however, especially considering their cowardly stacked roster in such a weak ass conference and it isn't near as impressive as many would make it out to be. They were a lock to get to the Finals every season, they did what was expected. No kudos.

Getting the 8th seed with Dwight, Gasol, Nash and Artest is less impressive

Interdasting.
He went 2/5 in the East, despite winning the East 4/4 times while in Miami.

Since when does the winning % in the finals have to do with the conference?
