Playoff LeBron...

Controversy
Superstar
the East was literally cheeks from 99-18 with 09 being the exception
PG was a young guy during those Indy yrs
D-Rose was also a young guy, and if he has Wade & Bosh equivalents, they easily beat Mia
the Boston big 3 was old starting in 2011
Demar Derozan is also cheeks...beating the Raptors wasn't an accomplishment
last season was the first time since 98, there were at least 4 teams who had REAL finals aspirations
Hater logic never makes any sense. Haters turned 6 rings on Jordan into shyt back in the day. They mostly gave up hating on him now, but for a few years they hated hard. You still occasionally see people saying Jordan only got rings because he played against out of shape white boys and skinny janitors....
A hater can twist ANY sort of achievement and excellence into a form of failure. Period.
The same people saying Lebrons Playoff stats don't count in the "Weak East" will gloss over his historic statlines against the best the West has produced in decades:
Bryan Danielson
Jmare007 x Bryan Danielson x JLova = King Ghidorah
Detroit was hot for 2 years
The Boston big 3 that ran him out of Cleveland and wasBy the time he got to Miami
Drose never had a prime
“Miami heat that was competitive”
“Prime PG”
The raptors team that made the finals was completely different from the teams lebron faced
what a shyt post. Idiot
Between the Raptors and Celtics, they was like top seed or at worst #2 the last 2 or 3 years Bron was in the East. Hell his last year wasn’t the Cavs like a 4th seed?
Before the injury PG in Indy was getting crowned
Did Bron sit out the season Wade and Shaq went to finals?
Tell that to the DRose stans..... I dare you
The Big 3 all them niccas had like 5-6 more years in them... fukk that
excuseDetroit, 2 years or not he still had to see them
Again in the West, niccas can gas up all them other teams not named Lakers, Spurs, and GS all they want but at the end of the day they was nothing more than food too and would’ve got worked by some them Wade, DRose, Big 3C, Raptors lead teams
Bryan Danielson
Jmare007 x Bryan Danielson x JLova = King Ghidorah
Also, y’all act like Bron’s Cavs was equivalent to the top West teams in the East.... like say swap out prime Lakers or GS and put them in the East.
His team was on par (if not at times worst) than them other East teams, the only difference was the Cavs had him.
We saw what them teams looked like before and after he left

I don't know... maybe had something to do with the fact he quit on the Cavs to go ringchase in his prime with a super team in MIA, then quit on the heat to go ringchase with a new younger super team after that ?
Like the east was already weak as fukk..but the fact he hopped around as an in-prime top 10 all time player swapping teams with multiple in-prime All-NBA/Allstar teammates ain't exactly some insignificant minor detail... LeBron's playing with dwade and Bosh and muhfukkas talking bout the threat of a pacers team led by like a 22 year old Paul George and Roy Hibbert
... then have the nerve to cry when the rabbit has the gun when the KD dubbs was sweeping that ass out the finalsSalute the championships, but this "dominated the east for 8 years" shyt is one of the most overblown moral victory ass lowered expectations thing in sports to me...
It's always weird how people only give props and credit to Bron and him alone for making these finals.
His teammates, his coaches, nor his opponents that he actually plays (and LOSES to twice as often as he wins) in those finals never receive a lick of recognition whatsoever themselves. LeBron is the only person to ever reach and win a finals the way you people erroneously talk about him. 
And that's not even bringing conference talk into it. Where's the credit for Tim Duncan reaching 6 finals and winning 5 of them (twice at Bron's expense in definitive fashion)? Where's Kobe's credit for reaching 7 finals and winning 5 (beating multiple teams there that LeBron couldn't)? Shaq for reaching 5 and winning 4? All in historically stacked western conferences??? All those should be just as if not more impressive than reaching 9... and winning only 3 in the end.
In a historically inept eastern conference to boot. Especially when the second he did came over West like some of these other legends have been all their careers, he couldn't even make the 9th seed...
I'm not on that tearing other players down wave any more after we lost Kobe... but y'all still always indirectly or directly do it any time Bron's name come out ya mouths. You talk about all these finals he's made and how he doesn't get enough respect for such an accomplishment like no one else has ever done it... when YOU don't give any respect for any of the other guys that are right there on the court with him in those series... the future HoF guys he's playing with, nor the guys he's playing against. The ones that also worked hard to get there time and time again themselves, from a tougher conference... and again, that still go on to beat him twice as often as he beats them in those finals. Those guys all deserve just as much respect and recognition themselves.

My last two memories of playoff Bron have been of KD looking better than him in the finals..draining the defining shot if the series dead in his face in one, all but running from the matchup with completely unnecessary switches while KD drained the defining shot of that series in the other one
Gotta feeling it’s gonna be Kawhi in that spot this year, just hope Lebron shuts him down and dominates the matchup in route to Lakers chip....do it for me Bean
Maybe its me, but with Kawhi it could be a hes just flat out better *if that proves to be the case* I always felt Steph/Klay's gravity/system is what elevated KD over LeBron. Still awesome, but I could separate. Felt individually Bron was better, but KD on the Warriors is as good or better. He's what helped neutralize Bron's great performances.
Kawhi is different. He did it one place and now trying to do in another. Up to LeBron to be ready for that challenge.

Looking back its kinda crazy how the Warriors are the reason for the division on the playoffs.
Last 4 playoff runs
34/9/9
33/9/8
26/10/8
30/11/9
All time stuff....that Kyrie injury and KD going to GS cost him a couple rings.

I remember watching that 51 point game vs GS like 
his last couple years in Cleveland are probably gonna be the last where his athleticism was GOATed and his skill was also in that area

The Detroit team was on its last legs when he beat them. The Big 3 Celtics beat him multiple times before he joined Miami and they got old. Beating D. Rose by himself versus Bron/Wade/Bosh is hardly impressive. The Pacers were a solid team but lacked the superstars to beat the Heat. Toronto was led by Derozan and Lowry. They aren't even all-star caliber players in the West. And finally Bron left the East when Giannis emerged so I have no idea why you even included that.
There is nothing impressive about Bron's exploits in the East. He either beat teams where he had the overwhelming advantage or older teams on their last legs.
3-6 in the Finals should make it obvious that the East was weak during his reign.

The majority of the top 10 players in the NBA during Lebron dominance played in the west. I find it weird that people also dont want to acknowledge why he dominated the east. Its 2 sides of the same coin. He got there a ton for the same reason he lost in the finals a ton
How old are you?
The West had several years where the playoffs teams from 1-8 had 50+ wins. In addition to the Lakers, Spurs, and Mavs, you had CP3's Clippers teams that were perennial contenders. You had the Gasol/Randolph/Conley Grizzlies teams that were elite. How couls forget the KD/Westbrook Thunder?
You tripping for trying to act like the West didn't have juggernauts for damn near 20 years.
