NBA's Western Conference has so much more star power. It's crazy.

I'm praying the 76ers & Bucks turn this thing around. We lacking over here in the East. Imagine the East once Bron retires/leaves for another team. Both conferences have great potential if these young guys maximize their potential.

Disgusting how easy lebron has it

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Dirk?

 

[Archangel]

Dirk?

I'd still take him on my squad even today

 

[Archangel]

Disgusting how easy lebron has it

I agree, but Bron is smart for staying in the East. After looking at that West list can you imagine going through these teams nightly or in the playoffs for the next 5 years?
Would be a bloodbath.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Sure but his production is out of place on that list at this point

 

[duckbutta]

in about 3 years these dejounte vs lonzo vs fox vs smith point guard battles are going to be live action DBZ episodes...

Dejounte Lonzo and Fox are all freakishly built...6 "5" with around 7 "0" wingspans... and though smith doesn't have their length or height he is easily the most athletic and explosive of the 4...

 

[thernbroom]

they need to get rid of conferences

The West has always had more starpower than the East. This isn't a new thing. At least since MJ's era

 

[Romey Rome]

The West has always had more starpower than the East. This isn't a new thing. At least since MJ's era

So do we put a lil more respek on Kobe and Duncan's name ? They have the most rings for stars since Jordan and they got through the west to reach the nba finals.

Do the same thing and then look at the stars kobe played against from the first title in 99-00 to the last title in 09-10



Then look at the stars lebron played against from '11 - now

IDK off the top I remember the 90's East had:
MJ
Pippen
Rodman
Alonzo
Mugsy
Ewing
Shaq
Penny
Larry Johnson
Tim Hardaway
Reggie Miller
Dominique
C-Webb on the Bullets

West had:
Dream
David Robinson
Clyde
Barkley
Kevin Johnson
Malone
Stockton
Payton
Kemp

Seems more even to me

We can't diminish the teams Bron had to face and beat though during his great run
Big 3 Celtics
Pistons - Sheed/Billups/Rip/Ben/Tayshaun
MVP D. Rose Bulls
These Warrior squads
Spurs
Dwights Magic - (Was a good team)
PG's Pacers


These are great squads Bron has had to deal with

The lebron stans WOAT and they dont accept anything that doesnt fit the narrative of "lebron is the greatest"


Facts upon facts have been presented and they turn the blind eye.


Kobe and Duncan had to go through a gauntlet (and at times each other) in order to be in the position to win 10 titles combined since 98-99


But these cats wanna give props to a dude who be bullying kelly fukking olynyk on the 1st seed in the EC


fukking Joke of a conference man
