Lebron James has been to 8 straight NBA Finals

How many times did MJ make it out of the 1st ROUND w/o Pippen?? ZERO.

Who?

Agree. MJ had a 55 win team *around* him. LeBron's teams were always lottery w/o him. Miami was lottery the season LeBron left & 19-20 when Bosh played- despite adding Whiteside.

I think Lebron is amazing, but I actually enjoyed watching Jordan more but Magic and Bird even more...

The Eastern Conference has been moribund throughout his career. He couldn’t have done that playing in the Western conference

I'll be mad if the Warriors win game 7 vs Houston. Probably gonna happen. NBA too predictable. Warriors vs LeBron every time. It Houston loses, LeBron will probably go there in offseason. If Houston miraculously beats warriors, then Bron perhaps goes to the Lakers.

The east is a joke year in and year out. 10 of 15 this year’s all-NBA players are in the West. The Celtics were missing their two best players. The Cavs will get swept by whoever they play in the finals. I think 5 teams in the west would take down the Cavs in a series. Nonetheless, LeBron is absurd and this postseason of his is ridiculous.

And that's when you lose all credibility when it comes to basketball

"Getting to the finals" is overrated if you never win. You can make debates about who got out of the first round or got out of the East, West, etc which can depend on the competition in your conference during a particular era; however, if you win the overall NBA title, you ARE the best regardless of what strong or weak teams you had to beat on your way to the championship game. You beat the best of the East and West. In Jordan's era, his weak Bulls team was getting eliminated by dynasty teams and Lebron has played in a weak Eastern conference his entire career. Not fair to compare. But 6 times Jordan won the title and that can't be disputed. Lebron can beat a weak superstarless Celtics team every year and that won't impress me.

Right. But LeBron's won three, and Jordan never faced a team of superstars like GS.

And Jordan never had such a lousy supporting cast as LeBron has had with these Cavs, and his first time with them.

The same teams winning every year is killing the NBA. I watched some of the playoffs, but I won't be watching the finals.

Thank you for your service and bravery to not watch. Superior dedication

I guess you hated the NBA in the 80s or in the 60s.

I doubt they will miss you and your illogical claim that you watched some of the playoffs, but won't watch the finals.

Magic vs Bird will never be topped. Sorry to disappoint modern lovers of NBA, a poor excuse for team basketball.

M.A.G.A...

The last 3 finals have featured the best team against the best player. I would say the NBA will take that any time.

He hasn't yet been to 8 straight finals. His team has qualified, but until game 1 he hasn't done that. Probably a 1 in 100 million chance he'll be seriously injured or die in a freak accident that prevents him from playing.
