No you're talking about the tougher road. Cavs were the #1 seed. Pistons had a better record than Houston. Next they played ATL who had a better record than Portland. ATL also had the same record as Boston & Miami. Toronto won 1 less game than Cleveland but the Cavs had such a easy road
Playing OKC> Det, Atl, and Toronto

Bosh and Love are HOF'ers? :pachaha:

And it does address your point because lebrons 'superteams' weren't that great of a superteam because judging by that list the best squad he ever had he lost with


/yourarguingpoint

It doesn't / my arguing point. It solidifies your agenda. When you have a prime Wade and Bosh, that's a super team. When you have prime Kyrie and Love, that's a super team no matter how you cut it. HOF/All-Star players + Lebron= SUPER TEAM. That bum ass chart doesn't address my point, it's a statistical +\- teammate chart through the conference finals, get that shyt outta here breh:scust: we don't rate teams like that. His super teams made it to the finals 6 straight times, show me something about that, 'ol plus minus ass:pachaha:

Combo of Lebron's greatness, his impeccable health, and an extremely weak east. Most years there was only one or maybe two teams in the east that could put a scare into Lebron's teams. West at the top usually had 4-5 teams every year that could knock you off if you were caught slipping. But also a credit to Lebron that his teams never slipped up and fell short during this span, especially given the injuries his teams have dealt with. I think more important than lack of top teams in the east was lack of a comparable superstar. The closest thing to superstars were either on his team or stuck in horrible situations.

Yes. What do you call it? He came back to the "Land" and orchestrated the deals that built that present team. Word to Drew Wiggins and D. Blatt.
Point is...you said the only player allowed to. He's earned what he's earned. It wasn't given or granted to him.

I never questioned if he earned or not, I merely say he's the only one allowed to, and it's true. THAT'S my/ the point.

Because Bron is the Ironman, him and kobe are two of the current generation players who would make deep playoff runs every year as the number one option

A lot of other superstars bodies would wear out, dwade would never lead his team to 6 finals apperances, his knees were too bad. Durant is too skinny and he had injuries like foot problems, Curry would neither, he is defending his title and muthafukkas in the media already coming up with "70%" excuses.

Maybe Westbrook could take that much every season but I also doubt. Only Kobe and Bron could play on such a high level for that long. Even Duncan had to sit back and sacrifice his stats to win more.
...Kobe? :francis:

Really not sure what y'all want the East to do about the lack of stars. The draft issue is just related to the West having exceptionally poor teams as well as having elite squads

Love isn't a HOF but he was still the 3rd best player on the court vs every team Cavs faced. You can still go to Love clear out and say get me a basket. You can't if he's spot-up shooter Love, but you can let him go to work.

But as for Lebron, it's a combo of things including him being the best player in the league.
