Paul George was supposed to be traded to the Cavaliers, but the Pacers don’t want him to play for a division rival.

3rd options cannot play to capacity alongside Lebron and crater big-time like Bosh and Love did.
For example, if Paul George was playing alongside Curry and Durant, he would average 20+ just like Klay did.. But alongside Lebron, he won't get anywhere near 20 - he'll be more of a role player like Kevin Love and average like 16-18 and less in the Finals..
Of course, Lebron lost by near-record amount in the 2017 Finals despite getting 29 and 16 from his 2nd and 3rd option - I don't think anyone has ever lost that badly when they got 45 ppg from 2nd and 3rd option - only Lebron's bad brand of ball and bad chemistry yields such massive team underperformance.
Do you realize that the 2015-2017 Cavs should've been a 70-win dynasty but instead they barely won 53 games in 2017??... that's MASSIVE UNDERACHIEVEMENT due to inferior brand of ball and skillset. (bron's lack of expert jumpshooting skill and the resulting ball-dominance/bad fits/weak chemistry)

Jordan beat a bunch of bums in the nba finals. When he played against a super team like birds celtics he went 0-6. You also forget that irving And love
Were injured in 2015. And durant joining the warriors is like karl malone joining the rockets in 1996. Plus add. Reggie miller lite scoring option in Klay Thompson

Interesting that even among the current players who've played with Lebron, still consider MJ the GOAT
It’s been 20 years since Michael Jordan last played in the NBA. However, his impact is still felt across the NBA, as evidenced by a recent anonymous player poll conducted by the Athletic. In that poll, 58.3% of the players voted for Jordan as the Greatest of All-Time (GOAT). While LeBron James was right behind him with 33%, the Chicago Bulls icon still reigns supreme in terms of all-time greatness.

The Bulls vs 86' Celtics was equivalent to the 05' Cavs vs 17' Warriors.
Remember that Lebron got 3 years to develop his team into a high seed before entering the 06' Playoffs, so he never had a low seed until 2021 (1st Round loss)
It's interesting because Jordan had a 30-win team in the 86' playoffs, which is the worst team that anyone ever had to carry in the playoffs.. Yet Jordan still kept the worst-ever Bulls closer to the Celtics than Lebron's defending champion super-team played the 14' Spurs.. let that sink in.
btw, the 98' Jazz achieved a gentlemen's sweep against Duncan/Popovich (56-win Spurs), so they destroyed the same guys that destroy Lebron and then they swept Shaq's 4 all-star Lakers in the WCF (a backcourt of Hornacek and Stockton ragdolled athletes like Kobe, Eddie Jones and Van Exel, who were all-stars that year).

Hey, OP. Did you know that Lebron, AKA LeShrivel, has the most choke jobs of all time, including the most epic choke job ever from a supposed "great"?

No.
But it would be a hell of a series and go at least 6.
Bran would still have a good amount of fast break dunks, and PG & Kyrie would have plenty of clutch scoring late.
But 2018 Warriors would still emerge victorious.

I'd think so
Kyrie beats Curry head to head
LeBron beats Durant
PG beats Klay
Cavs in 7

He was supposed to be traded for Irving. Kai got wind of disloyal and unappreciative LeBron James wanting him traded after he brought him a chip in Cleveland on a silver platter, and knowing he was leaving Cleveland the next year anyway forced a trade to Boston.

Yes if Paul George scores 20 ppg its a ring but if he scores two points less they lose.
Your understanding of the game as nothing matters except how much ppg the star players have is pathetic.
