View Full Version : If lebron had played in the west his whole career

Hed have only made it to 3 finals instead of 3 times that many in the east. On the other hand he'd have way less finals loses and be a perfect 3 for 3 in the finals. This is assuming of course that hed beat the teams out west in the first couple of rounds which i think he would have.

So would his stans who treasure his numerous finals appearances love him less because he only made it to 3? Would his haters like him more because he would of been perfect like mj in the finals?

It wouldn't change my opinion of him either way. I dont praise his appearance like his stans do but i dont judge him for the numerous losses like his haters. Its the same with mj. I dont treasure 6/6 like his stans do. Hes only 6/6 because in the years he lost in the playoffs he failed earlier than he could have. His fans are basically praising mj for losing early and condemning lebron for losing late. Its f*cking ridiculous when yku think about it. To me its all about the chip. so what if you lose first round or last round, both are f*cking losers so its pretty much irrelevant.

So how would it change your opinion?

if he was in the west hed likely have to go through 2 juggernauts... like spurs and thunder, or mavs and lakers, or golden state and houston, etc.

And considering his wins were mighty slim in the series he won (literally a single miracle shot in some cases) ... it's very unlikely hed have greater success having to fight for his life back to back instead of just once.

If LBJ got to pair up with the mighty Melo Nuggets and Nash Suns it would be a BLOOD BATH. Hell he might have even made more Finals in the West.

Thats a possibility i guess but i think hed pull it out. Theres no guarantee hed end up playing both juggernauts anyway.

LeBron has at least got to the finals every year he's had a decent cast

So if he was in the West he would likely not have to play with a bunch of garbage cans for his half of his career

Imagine if LeBron got drafted to a franchise like the Spurs who have competent coaching and a front office who could put him with a decent cast every year :eek:

LeBron would win 5 minimum if he was in the West

Damn you actually said something that i agree with. Yes if lebron played within a system like the spurs coached by a great coach hed definitely win way more. Hed have less stats though right because he wouldn't ne as ball dominant in pops system. So yes hed have as many chips as mj but he wouldn't have the stats.

Dude your so bad. Youve argued against this premise countless times:facepalm

Yeah but just throwing out crazy scenarios like if lebron was on a great western conference team earlier in his career. Of course hed win more but so would almost any great.

No they wouldn't. How does that work out dude? Theyre both ball dominant point gaurds. Take either one off ball and they dont have the same impact. Theyd be damn good ill give you that but they wouldn't be the best. Curry and kd are better, shaq and kobe are better. Even mj and pip would be better even though pip isnt a dynamic scorer. Im sure a missing a few. You could probably throw in curry and klay and magic and kareem also.

05-07 Suns were literally the greatest offense ever so if you replace Amare with LeBron they'd be even better

Nash and LeBron can play off ball if they wanted to (see Miami LeBron)

They'd be unstoppable offensively and good enough defensively with Marion and prime LeBron

Yes they can definitely play off ball but they're both best on ball.

And i said theyd be damn good its not like im saying theyd suck. As far as dominating the league. When are we talking and what system are we talking about? They wouldn't dominate the last few years with kd on the warriors. They wouldn't dominate the clippers right now. They wouldn't dominate shaq and kobes lakers or mjs bulls so yeah i dont know. Theyd be very good though and definitely win some chips with the right pieces around them but they wouldn't dominate.

Ive never penalized lebron for his finals losses. On the contrary I think its great that he’s been to as much finals as any other player would have wanted.

However, in argument for goat, I just dont see that Lebron has better overall skillset and drive as mj did. Personally I prefer the path that mj had sticking to one franchise, and a single set of core players and figuring out how to win. And once they did, they did not want to let go.

Lebron plays a different game which I prefer less. While he is able to seemingly carry teams to the finals, I dont think it works organically well for the teams long term greatness. While he produces great numbers, I dont know that that works well for the team as a whole moving forward.

Outside stats and records, other things that for me takes the greatness out of lebron are flopping, colluding, and missing out on a few big moments in the playoffs where he could have demonstrated greatness and he didnt.

Lonzo ball wouldve been like the 4th or 5th best player on that squad.

Randle wouldve stayed, ingram is an all star talent, and Ball is actually a great defender and passer.

Kobe isnt like bran... he doesnt need guys to spot up. His teams can swing the rock and break you down with teamwork.

Ball would fit a hell of a lot better with kobe than he did with Lebron because hes an intelligent player who happens to suck at shooting.

You cant suck at shooting playing with bran.

When did Kobe's Laker teams ever go thru two juggernauts? He lost as soon as he played vs real competition. He beat KD on a winner by PAU.. He beat NASH on a winner by ARTEST.. Talk about luck.. Those series would have gone to 7 games and you know KOBE would shit in those games..

Lebron beat the SPURS with Kawhi, he beat OKC with 3 first ballot HOF'S , and he beat the greatest team ever in GSW..

So GSW goes and gets the greatest scorer the league has seen since MJ to beat LEBRON .

Historical Record


2001-2009 - 5 weak teams made the Finals (AI, Kidd, Lebron, Dwight)

2011-2018 - despite weak teams routinely making the Finals, Lebron stacks the deck with a super-team in the weak conference to ensure Finals runs


^^^ despite these facts, somehow the media/fans respect still respect his Finals "streak"... #manufacturedcareer
