If Western teams are better than Easterns...

[Dr Hawk]

Wouldn't Bran have a better team too if he played in the West?

So his chances to win would stay the same?

No...too tough and physical for him, would put him off his game for good

[Lebron23]

You cannot use logic in this forum. Plenty of the posters here are just trolling for attentions

If the Nuggets drafted LeBron in 2003. He already have an NBA Finals MVP before 2012.

If you only put Lebron in the West by himself.

But if you put his same Cleveland and Heat teams in the West, then Lebron would've made the Finals only twice in his career.

İn the finals , yes . But tough conference means lower chances for the win conf. Champ .

What you mean IF? :oldlol:

The word you are looking for is SINCE.

"Western teams are better than Easterns": Its not that Western teams are better than Eastern teams. Its there are more good teams in the west than in the east. Disparity between teams in each conference is what we are talking about here. East have 1-2 good teams. West have 5-6 good teams.
So if lebron joins the west, he 1) would NOT have a better team because he is in the "good" team in the east, and 2) have to fight against more good teams than in the east.

You are right my friend

Yes

Yes. One because there are/were tougher teams in the WEstern and two because as you say, Lebron limits the ceiling of his teams.

it's not the chances. Think about how much harder it is to play Western teams for 3 rounds. Although it would be way easier in the finals if he manages to get there.

[I<3NBA]

Not necessarily. He could go to the Kings, Lakers, or the Timberwolves. That would be a shit show.

So he would be going through the Spurs, Clippers, Rockets, Grizzlies. That's a tough road no matter how you look at it.

If you transplanted the Heat to the West, they'd probably still have won it in 12 and 13. would have lost to the Mavs in 11, to the Spurs in 14.

And the Cavs would've lost the WCF vs the Warriors.

so he would have 3 Finals appearances. 2/3

is that better than 2/6?

although, if you think about it. if we transplanted Lebron's 09 and 10 Cavs to the West, Kobe would be looking at 2 less rings and Dwight would have one ring by now (because the Cavs would go down vs Magic in the Finals).

[34-24 Footwork]

I'm a huge fan of Lebron, but he would not make it past the 2nd round in the west.

But his team would get blamed:(

[34-24 Footwork]

Serious note...I've never seen so many hypotheticals made for an "all time great" to prop up his career.

We're literally to a point to where fan boys are giving bran credit for things that didn't happen.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Lebron can barely put up a fight against the Spurs, what makes you think he can compete in the same conference as them

[NBAplayoffs2001]

The 2012-2013 Heat team in the West could probably still win close to 60 games if not a little more. This year's Cavs would have been a 4th or 5th seed probably in the West.

If even that. They had SO many defensive problems the first half of the season, I am sure they wouldn't have been even .500. By playoffs, they would've been 7th seed at most. Can't have no defense in a offensive heavy conference.
