[RoundMoundOfReb]

2012 Thunder (3 first ballot HOFers/perpetual MVP candidates)
2016 Warriors (73 wins)

Simply LeGendary.

GOAT :bowdown:

[DirkNowitzki41]

greatest of all time

[plowking]

Not even kidding, if you look at his collection of wins in the final, it very well may be the greatest list of teams out of anyone. The Spurs he beat were ridiculous too.

Even if you look at total teams played in the finals, not just wins, LeBron probably faced the toughest group of Finals opponents of anyone in NBA History




Combine that with his lack of help in 2007, 2014, 2015. And LeBron has the biggest talent differential (how much better the opposing teams were talent wise compared to his own team) of any player in NBA History

[plowking]

It'd be interesting to see the win average for the teams Bron faced in the finals.

73, 67 and 62 win teams are the only 3 I can remember. Obviously the lockout would be adjusted too.

Dirk beating Thunder, Lakers, Heat in one playoff season was more legendary.

[Upgrayedd]

But that Thunder team didn't reach their full potential together before they were broken up. Durant and Westbrook weren't in their primes at that point

And come on it's not like LeBron didn't have any help. That Heat team was one of the most stacked teams ever with LeBron, Bosh and Wade together. They made it to the NBA finals four times in a row. And the Cavaliers are pretty stacked. I mean really they have LeBron, Irving, Love, Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, Smith, Timofey Mozgov, Mo Williams, Tristan Thompson. That is a very stacked roster

Nah, I like what Lebron did in 2012 better. Chris Bosh went down in Round 2 and it was supposed to be over for the Heat, as they were playing Roy Hibbert and David West with a terrible frontcourt. Lebron stepped in and delivered.

Harden first ballot? LOL

Meltdown.


2nd greatest player of all time. You need to enjoy watching him.

[Nilocon165]

Jordans opponets that he beat: 61.16 wins
Lebrons opponets that he beat: 59.33 wins

Lebrons isn't close to Jordan?

[NBAGOAT]

Someone do Jordan's

I got you

1991 Lakers: 58 wins 6.73 SRS
1992 Blazers 57 wins 6.94 SRS
1993 Suns 62 wins 6.27 SRS
1996 Sonics 64 wins 7.40 SRS
1997 Jazz 64 wins 7.97 SRS
1998 Jazz 62 wins 5.73 SRS

You already listed the average win total. Average SRS is 6.84.

Wrong, Bosh was injured for Rounds 2 and 3 and clearly not himself in the Finals.

Lebron lead Wade, Haslem, Battier, Joel Anthony, and Chalmers to a title...over KG/Pierce/Rondo Celtics + Indian's frontcourt with no Bosh + Durant, Westbrook, and Harden (and yes, Harden was not a super-star then...more like a low level all-star) Beat that.

[Keno]

remarkable what he's doing, truly greatest of all time.

[FultzNationRISE]

Absolutely
