Leading a team to five finals in a row...

Yes Bill Russell has.

Yes he's modern era, according to me.

Lebron's 5 straight Finals is not impressive compared to the accomplishments of previous greats for 2 very simple reasons:

1) The current era plays a brand of basketball where offensive players face less defenders on the strongside (it's called spacing)..

This makes it easier for offensive players in comparison to previous eras.. Plain and simple.. Of course, there's the also the bans on hand-checking, physicality, and paint-camping, but these all pale in comparison to spacing and the resulting porous strongside defense.

2) It's the 2010's East Conference, ostensibly the weakest conference the NBA ever produced..

Consequently, Lebron has defeated only eight 50+ win teams in his playoff career, which shows how much weaker his competition is to a guy like Kobe, who has defeated 24 teams that won 50+ in RS.

Curry = 5
KD = 3
MJ = 3
Kobe = 3
