How does Lebron make it to the finals every damn year

[FTBS]

The bolded: exactly, so don't make it seem like they were at the bottom because he left, it was due to health and a shytty roster, that's all my point was in regards to that post. It seems that you agree.

Bron, KAT, and the same Wiggins he got traded for Love? A super team? Nope. A great team? Yes. On Sac, him and Boogie wouldn't be a super team, Rondo would have to be traded because he can play with LeBron, that's why I didn't mention him as part of the 3.

Well the roster wouldnt have been so shytty if he was on it. They were under .500 and a 7 seed BEFORE Bosh went down. That doesnt happen with a superteam after losing one guy.

So basically superteam is a rather random designation (its really a silly, manufactured one but thats another thread)? Bron and the last two ROYs and a top 5 pick and cap room? Sounds pretty super to me .

It was the same thing with CLE until moves were made after Bron arrived.

him losing 4 finals, and 1 Ray Allen shot away from 5 losses proves he's a product of the weak East..

The only reason that he's been to the finals as many times as he has, is because the East is trash. Nothing more. His finals record is proof.

If LeBron James was in the West, would have the same playoff success as Chris Paul.

I don't see how you can watch the OKC-Spurs and OKC-GSW series and look at the competition that LeBron has faced in the East in the past two years without feeling funny. The Big 3 of the Celtics falling off and the dismantling of the Pacers has really hurt top-tier quality of the East.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Everyone knows why hes been to the Finals 6 straight times

Because he's had superteams in a weakass conference, thats why

Its even less impressive when he is 2-4

He's the best athlete in NBA history. He can carry teams to victory...it just isn't enough in the Finals because his team goes ghost.

If the East is really that bad then why Melo, Deron Williams, and Amare all failed to take advantage of the opportunity of playing weaker competition from they were in the west

people are willing show their stupidity.

If all acknowledge the west on has better teams

If Lebron was in the west he would be one a better team as well and he would win the championship every year.

Take Steph of GSW and put him on the Caveliers , theydon't make it out the east, but Bron wins the championship.

Take Durant off the Thunder, Caveliers don't make it out the east, but Bron wins the championship.

But Bron on the spurs without duncan he still wins the championship.

Lebron would have it easier if he was in the west, because he would have better more well rounded teams to choose to be on.

The Eastern teams would stand a chance against him in the finals.

The most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.

He's a great player, but not the greatest by any means. The man has damn near started since he was 13 years old. ANd he was corinated as a "King" as a publicity stunt to being the face of the NBA franchise since Jordan retired, only he hasn't lived up to the hype IMO. The bar has simply been set too high for him since before he even got into the league.

What's worse about Lebron stans than probably any other stans is that they've hijacked the term "greatest ever" or "one of the greatest ever" by redefining what "winning" is. BY just about anyone's definition, the "greatest" are normally judged by their ability to be leaders while obtaining championships on a winning team and then secondly that "greatness" is supported by a player's statistics and personal accomplishments. Championship first, statistics second. That's the way it has pretty much always been.

However, Lebron stans have done a complete reversal, and often depend on padded stats, and participation trophies (i.e. things like finals appearances) first and then conveniently ignore and leave out his win/lose ratio when it comes to winning a title.

Because he plays in the East

Easy answer

Close thread/

 

[daboywonder2002]

1. great player
2. picks the right situations
3. eastern conference. and I'm not hating at all. but imagine being in the west going against the WARriors, thunder, and spurs in the playoffs every year.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Because he always has one of the best teams and plays in the East

I'm a Bron fan but do y'all realize he got Mo Williams not even in the rotation? Cavs this year might be one of his most stacked teams

 

[Trece]

If this thread was meant to big up Bron somehow it is failing miserably because people realize he is only getting there because he plays in the East.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

If the East is really that bad then why Melo, Deron Williams, and Amare all failed to take advantage of the opportunity of playing weaker competition from they were in the west

Melo.. because Knicks
D Will.. because NY

Stat - Knees we all know this

Who's the next best superstar in the east?
