The east is weak... right?

[TheWinningFam]

But the expansion era is WEAKER and if you think what lebron has done (6 straight finals) is fradulent, take the Eastern conference and make it the ENTIRE league..
This is the type of league jordan played in.. the expansion era..

Most logical ish fans agree that Lebrons best opponents in the finals are better teams than any team jordan faced his entire career in the finals..
Jordan had the benefit of a GOAT head coach AND a GOAT wingman... pair those 2 and most top players would have it made..

Otoh,Lebron has had to do more with less taking a no name head coach to the finals almost his ENTIRE career His only REAL help was the 2012 playoffs, and even then BOSH was out with an injury, forcing lebron to play 3-5.. and he excelled easily disposing of durant in 5..
Lebron truly showed his dominance with his GOAT performance in the 2015 and 2016 finals..

Both years he was without key players and injuries Then game 7 Kyrie and love gave pippen and rodman type performances, and look what happened? the cavs pulled the greatest comeback of all time.. something no team has EVER done in the nba..

If lebron and jordan were to switch teams and eras lebron would EASILY have 8-10 championships..

Otoh, jordan at the MOST would have 2-3, his brand of basketball didn't work aswell as lebrons.. Trying to be an alpha coach/player like lebron caused him to go 1-9 in playoffs Once the GOAT head coach phil forced him to play in the system and added a GOAT wingman in pippen jordan was able to play at a higher level..

To go on that point even further wade kyrie bosh love allen and jordan WOULD NOT work well together they all love to have the ball in their hands and are volume scorers, otoh Lebron, pippen, rodman, steve, kerr, kukoc, paxon would DOMINATE the weak expansion era.. simply due to the fact that lebron can do everything jordan could do AND more.. whenever lebron HAS MORE HE ALWAYS Won.. as soon as kyrie and love got their head out of their asses THEY WON.. as soon as wade took a backseat to the GOAT and didn't play like shit THEY WON..

Jordan only started winning when the great teams of the '80s fell apart and the league got watered down.

LeBron meanwhile has the highest average team quality faced in the playoffs (and especially in the Finals) in the history of the league.

Agreed and even more on that point..
lebron turned a 17-65 team into a 35-47 team his rookie year, thats a 16 win difference DOUBLE of ordan's 8 win improvment

In year 2 Lebron enforced his brand of basketball and improved the team even MORE winning this time 42-40 but failed to make the playoffs due to a strong east at the time..

In lebron's third year he FINALLY broke through winning 50 games and getting his team to the playsoff and guess what? he WON his first playoff series something ordan just couldn't do..

otoh, Jordan his first couple of seasons made the playoffs with 30 win teams in a weak expansion era, he also didn't improve the team much until he got GOAT help..

And when he made the playoffs he made quick work, going 1-9

ordan attempting to enforce ordan ball REGRESSED even more the second year going 30-52 but because of such a weak east was able to STILL make the playoffs..

In his 3rd year they went 40-42 and lost AGIAN in the first round.. with superior supporting cast in paxson and oakley..
Then the rest was history, the bulls acquired pippen and the GOAT coach in phil.. While lebron got to the finals 2 years later with the SAME roster..

But dont forget, lebron won more with less agianst the BEST, while ordan tried but couldn't agianst weaker competition with a better supporting cast
