Some people seemed to misconstrue what I said here. I agree that LB would be dominate in the West, I'm just saying that he probably would have a tougher time. Literally, LBJ regularly only gets a true test in the conference finals, MAYBE the 2nd round every now and again. You take a healthy version of this Cavs team and place them in the West, it would not be a cake walk. Spurs, Clips, Rockets, Warriors and the Grizz were all title contenders this year. Idc what nobody says. Thats 5 teams and I didn't even include the "what if the Thunder were healthy" scenario. That would be 6 title contenders. The Spurs were unhealthy and unlucky. Clips choked. Rockets were super lucky and the Grizzlies were unhealthy. Had Conley not gotten injured, we may be looking at a different conference final match up and I'm a Curry fan.
The East this year, has 2 title contenders, Cavs and Bulls. LBJ would not be sweeping through the Western Conference playoffs. Especially not the conference finals. I mean, I'll give you the 1st and 2nd rounds but man these boys swept through the conference finals without two starters. The East is a joke. Dudes on here talking bout the Bobcats and Knicks had top defenses in years prior. Come on bruh. We talking bout title contenders. Stop tryna praise these sorry East teams .
There is no competition in the East and LeBrons feasting these last few years are a testament to that fact. Sorry.
Breh, people are acting like Lebron had a cakewalk but it's not that simple. The Spurs swept their first two rounds before they got knocked out by the Thunder in the WCF. The Spurs completely dismantled their WCF opponent's in the Grizzlies and swept them too while the Heat had a 7 game series against the best defense in the league.
Even if Curry is a much better player than someone like Tony Allen, who do you think Lebron would rather play in a one on one match? Who would be a more draining matchup?
Same idea. Lebron was playing physically tough teams that prided themselves on defense before having to deal with the more offense oriented West teams.
It's why the Heat had a lot more trouble against a team like the Pacers and the Celtics but proceeded to shyt all over the Thunder despite the fact that Thunder had just ran through the West like a Mack truck. Lebron matched up against the best in the West after dealing with multiple top flight defenses.
The only teams, in the West, that had a shot of beating a Lebron led team the past 4 years were the (Which they faced) Spurs and the Grizzlies.
That's his competition., 

said paul george was about to become a superstar, and said the heat should blow it up after game 5 of the boston series.
