King in the East: An impressive 8-year run

A taste of the Eastern Conference without LeBron James just goes to show how dominant his epic 8-year reign truly was. It's wide open now.

Who will be the next to rule the East for 8-years? Giannis? Kawhi? Embiid? Durant (if he goes to the Knicks)?

Jordan ruled the East for 3 years in a row, which was impressive for the weak 90s era but LeBron was able to rule his conference for 8 years straight.

Will we ever see a King rule a conference like this again? Is it even possible? Fathomable?

Milwaukee was picked to finish 4/5 this year in the East. :oldlol:

Only lebron teamed up with 2 other stars, so only he made a bunch of Finals

09' Dwight would've made a bunch if he teamed up with Wade and Bosh - but dwight MADE the Finals that year, so he didn't see the need to team-hop

And lebron only beat the West 3 times (3/9), so that proves he'd make 3 Finals in a career out West and his Finals appearances are conference-dependant

73 win team. No other all stars. Leading everyone in everything. GAME OVER

Actually he had 2 perennial all-stars, an equal-scoring teammate and closer

and it was only 1 win in 4 tries, so worse than the odds predicted (underachievement)

Issa bloodbath

From King to Janitor.

Like Bezos going from CEO of Amazon, to a Prime driver :roll:

LeBron unlocked star potential in Kyrie. Kyrie these past couple year has proven that he is not a star. Only LeBron can unlock that potential in him. MJ unfortunately couldn't do the same with Pippen's offense because of his need to score an arbitrary number higher than his 2nd option.

Jordan went to 6 Finals in 8 years (interrupted by that retirement/baseball thingy) but won 6 in 8 years...

LeBron went to 8 straight Finals and didn't nab not even a 50% win rate :(

So Jordan grabbed double the titles LeFraud got going to 2 less Finals? :wtf:

At this rate, LeCollude needs to go to 9 more Finals to equal MJ's chip total...:lol

I wouldnt call Kawhi a janitor just yet he is only down 0-2 give him a chance to acquire his 8 straight before he makes it to CEO status

8 straight Finals = 8 conference finals wins



8 conference finals wins < 6 Finals wins

MJ ruled the Eaat for 3 years and then took 2 years off for load managment :(

2004 - missed playoffs

2005 - missed playoffs despite the East all-star center on his team

2006 - 2nd round elimination

2007 - 2-seeded Cavs beat 1-seeded Pistons to make Finals (lebron averaged 21 on 41% outside of game 5; 25 on 45% overall)..... then 22 on 36% in Finals sweep loss

2008 - 26 on 35% in ecsf loss

2009 - loses with 60-win 1 seed

2010 - loses with 60-win 1 seed (record - no one ever lost with 60-win 1 seed for two straight yrs)

Then said "fck this, I can't handle being such a loser" and teamed up with the #2 and #4 players in PER aka the best small forward and shooting guard in the league

Giannis is running through the East with a poor man's Bradley Beal as his 2nd option. The East added all these stars and the Celtics were actually healthy too... makes James' 8 straight Finals look like a joke.

But every year you say all star voting is just a popularity contest. So whats the point in saying

How's the West going

[QUOTE=superduper]How's the West going[/QUOTE]

An 8 year run isnt easy. Most guys could only rule for 3 straight years

Kobe, MJ, Shaq, Magic, etc.

You mean MJ he quit due to lack of mental toughness.

Having the mental fortitude and toughness to make 8 straight >>>>>> having to quit and refuel after 3 straight.

Now that he is gone we see what the East really is. LeBron was destroying these teams 58, 60, etc win teams.

So the only good players are all stars? :cheers:

LOL Bitch please. Kobe and MJ destroyed 20+ teams with 50 or more wins, while Lebron beat, what, 9?

It isn't a surprise that superstars kept leaving the East and everyone viewed it as a joke. Now that LeBron left the East suddenly has teams with elite win totals.:roll:

LeBron is THE reason why the East looked so weak. It wasn't a lack of talent in the East, it was LeBron.

Facts are facts.

over 3/4 of those wins were with Daddy Shaq at the helm.

Kobe barely played any 50+ win teams after he became the franchise player.

Who

LeBron fans are still swinging from his balls I see. DAMN. Things never change. Leave for a couple years, and it's exactly how I left it.

Bragging about this is like bragging about winning the jv tournament and being mvp, as a senior.

[QUOTE=Hey Yo]over 3/4 of those wins were with Daddy Shaq at the helm.

Only 4 teams ever have faced 4 50 win teams in 1 playoff run. The 94 Rockets, 01 Lakers, 08 Lakers and 2010 Lakers. Kobe was on 3 of these teams.

Kobe, from '08-10, beat 10 50+ win teams. It took LeBron 13 seasons to beat 10 50+ win teams. :roll: :roll: :roll:

"King in the east"

thats like being the smartest kid in special ed.

congrats...
