After facing great teams in 2012 and more prominently, 2013 and '14, LeBron over the last two years has had the opportunity to face:
2015: LeBron vs. the world. Was so disappointed when he lost because I figured he'd never get a GOAT-tier feat laid out in front of him again.
Then 2016 happened when he knocked off a 73-win behemoth in dramatic fashion, first chip in 54 years, etc.
I was like damn. My boy Bron-Bron will never get another chance to get an historic finals win, but hell... at least he went 1-1 in them (while also going 2-1 against GREAT Thunder and Spurs teams just prior to it, but we all know that).
And now this. Now... this. 2016-17 GSW will likely only win 67-69 games since they'll take it easy and put just enough into the RS to develop the chemistry with Durant (who is proficient off-ball and should assimilate well), but this only further adds to what is already one of the most STACKED compilations of talent we've ever seen this side of the Dream Team. Could you imagine.... LeBron James beating THIS team?
How many consecutive more difficult finals than Jordan's most intimidating finals opponent in UTA/SEA does this man LeBron James have to face?
