No one respects it because it's the Hawks.
This is why stats about "How many 50-win teams did they beat?" are stupid out-of-context. No one gives a shyt if you beat Deron Williams's 52-win Jazz, or Chris Paul's 54-win Hornets, or that 50-win Rockets team that didn't have Yao OR McGrady on the court, or that 56-win Spurs team with Ginobli's ankle the size of a grapefruit, or that 61-win Sonics team when you were the 9th option.
Lebron sweeping a 60-win Hawks team was incredible, but it's not even in the top-5 moments for a GOAT candidate. I think I'd barely squeeze it into the top-10. It's only good for throwing into the face of the idiots who think, "But how many wins did the mediocre teams you beat have?" defines a great.
