this is factually untrue
stop fishing for daps and lying bytch
You negged me for the legwork you coulda done yourself, so now you deserve a neg train...
Mike dominated the 90s the way Bron dominated the 10s, it's the decade both won all they chips and most of they MVPs, so I'm talking about 90s Mike...
In 1990, the average win total for the East playoff seeds was 49, West average win total was 52.3. West had a 60-win team and both brackets had 4 50-win teams, so 1990 is 1-0 West as the stronger conference...
1991: East avg 47.8 wins, West 52.8..
1992: East 49, West 50.3
1993: East 48.8, West 49.9
1995: East 47.6, West 52.3
1996: East 52, West 50.4
1997: East 55, West 49.9
1998: East 51.1, West 53.5
Not counting the '94 and '99 seasons that Mike didnt play in (West won those years too), the West was the superior conference in 6 of the 8 seasons Mike played in the 90s---->more 60-win teams, more 50-win teams, fewer below .500 teams making the playoffs, etc...
But the narrative on Mike is never that he "dominated the weak East" even though he won 4 of his chips by running through the weaker bracket while basically playing on the 10s Warriors. Wonder why we don't use the "weak East" narrative with Mike? (Actually, I know why, but enjoy the negs coming your way)...

But it’s Bron though.. LeStans said he would make it regardless... he was going to make them better

There’s a new Kang in NOLA and he doesn’t need the ball 22seconds in the shot clock

WRONG
In light of the Eastern Conference's "embarrassing" showing in games against the West so far this year, here's a rundown of how each conference has fared against the other for every year since 1951 (before 1971, the NBA had Eastern and Western "divisions" which were de facto conferences):

and if those Bulls teams were basically the 10s Warriors, then how come FIVE of those squads are in the top ten lowest scoring supporting casts of all time
and by the way, I hope you enjoyed that neg
back to the drawing board you go
*edit* and btw, the number for West vs East during Bron's tenure look especially
would you mind posting their respective winning percentages overall since that's the metric you're using
Bron is the king. just fukkin deal with it and move the fukk on

a King that loses more than he won
and can't win unless he has a 2 other top ten draft picks(sometimes from the SAME draft
) around him
