I doubt it. Very few people talk about how Jordan feasted on the great expansion era... they just remember him dominating. All the talk about how weak LeBron's competition is will probably never be more fervent than it is right now.

Jordan had to overcome Bird's Celtics and the Bad Boy Pistons to reach the Finals and play plenty of good teams...

LeBron is currently playing in one of the weakest conferences ever while the Western Conference is looking like one of the toughest conferences ever.

It's like we saw last year in the Finals, the East had to represent SOMEBODY that would just get smashed by whoever came out of the West.

Jordan didn't have to overcome Bird's Celtics. He never beat them, ever. He started winning after they were history. During the two three-peat eras, the NBA was actually pretty weak. I'm not taking anything away from MJ, he's the greatest... my point is that after the fact, people don't really talk much about how weak the competition was, they just look at the results and who won the most. Your nonsense about Bird just supported my point.

Oh and don't be ridiculous - the Spurs destroyed Miami, but if your Thunder had made it to the Finals to face the Heat they would have gotten SMASHED.

2/6

If (in before pauk joke) he does and loses and goes 2/6 that would crap on his legacy even more?

Sike.

The West during Magic's time was as weak if not weaker than the East now. So stop with that. No one complains about Magic's competition while he was playing with Kareem, but everyone complains about LeBron having Bosh and Wade.

Just to be clear, the last player to have been to 5 straight Finals in any major American sport was??


Bill Russell????

[Hey Yo]

Do they do that now to Earvin, Kareem and Worthy of the 80's Lakers?
