Should LeBron move to the western conference to preserve his legacy?

[Imhotep2]

LeBron is 3-5 in the NBA Finals, and with how dominant the warriors played combined with how weak the eastern conference is, he could very well end up 3-6, 3-7, or 3-8 which is pretty bad


If LeBron goes to the Clippers, Lakers, or Spurs he can battle the warriors in the western conference finals for the next 4 years

If he loses: It won't hurt his legacy since the only thing that matters is the finals record, and nobody gives a damn if you lose before that

If he wins: He'll have a 99% chance of beating the team that comes out of the east since the only way the east has won in the past 7 years is because of LeBron .

Also, it will make the NBA Playoffs a lot more entertaining up until the finals when the western team sweeps the east.

Stop with this legacy talk. You can't speak for the future

His defense was WOAT level this finals. All those empty stats on offense people should've seen how terrible he was on defense.

 

[Remote]

Again. Where is he supposed to go?
San Antonio? Los Angeles? Portland? Houston?

Just more accusations of "superteam" bullshyt.

Boston

Lebron on Boston would beat the warriors. Boston already beats the warriors now.

Unless he goes to the Spurs or Clippers, he isn't beating getting to the finals. IN the East he can just coast to the finals.

At this stage, he will get to the finals for 4 more years and get his stats up. No one will care about him losing cause he got a triple-double, dude is smart.

Seriously him on Boston would win it all. The personnel would match n Stevens can outcoach anyone.

The celtics already basically split with the warriors now.

This is what I don't understand, they shove his box score numbers down our throats but stick their fingers in their ears when his lack of defensive effort is brought up. It's almost as if they care about his surface stats more than winning. It's bewildering.

Those are the bronsexuals breh. They'll be suckin off Bron all day today on sports radio/FT/Undisputed for those empty stats. Never mind he literally played some of the worst defense I've ever seen, especially from a supposed GOAT. Uncontested dunks, wide open shots, etc. He was terrible.

I know I'm a MJ stan but again to watch him MJ's defense he was elite. You don't lead the league in steals 3 times, win a DPOY while averaging over 35, back to back 100+ block seasons and tell me Bron is better at defense. No way.

 

[Illuminatos]

You think LeBron losing in the WCF to GS won't hurt his legacy?
The Finals record argument only exists because he keeps making the Finals. Best believe if he was losing in the 2nd and 3rd rounds the Bron haters would be using that against him.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Why, so he can get whipped in the WCF and not even make it to the finals again




No, he's going to stay in the east where it's easy and try to find some other way to get more "help" or go to another team out on the east with stacked allstars

To be fair to LeBron, MJ had Pippen to take the majority of those defensive reps during that second 3-peat (and even some during the first), but it still doesn't excuse him for his lack of effort. It was the same thing he was doing during the regular season. Dude just simply developed too many defensive bad habits, and couldn't break them when he needed to most.

Lebron defense is overrated, seriously. They say he can guard 1-5 but he's not a good defender against real stars. His size brings some versatility but he's not an elite defender. He's a good help blocker. That's it.

MJ averaged over 35, had 259 steals, 131 blocks while playin 40 minutes 82 games yet they say bron is better at defense and has more stamina

And MJ didn't have NBA record over 400 turnovers like Russ n harden.
