If LeHype played his whole career in the Western Conference, how many Finals appearances would he have made? Consider, he'd have to go thru Duncan or Shaq/Kobe - and now the Dubs. I'm saying he'd have 1-2 Finals appearances and maybe 1 rang. But he the GOAT? :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

If LeHype played his whole career in the Western Conference, how many Finals appearances would he have made?

Probably more, since he'd be more likely to have a competent front office and coach instead of always having to drag trash to the Finals.

LeGOAT :worthy:

His 5 Finals losses (and counting) is my evidence that he might luck up twice to get out the West. You telling me he would get past the Spurs, Lakers and these Dubs? :wow

With a competent front office and coach instead of trash, he'd be making those teams his bitch on an annual basis, tbh.

Please. He would not get past the teams I mentioned. I didn't even include Dirk's Mavs. All would kick his ass and you know it.

[phxspurfan]

lol IT getting carrying calls

[phxspurfan]

Cleveland is officially just LeBron's :monkeyball team now. No defense no schemes just :monkey

ROFL his body would have broken down by 2008 playing the likes of Phoenix, Portland, Lakers, SA and Dallas every year to try and even make the playoffs

Only team his Cavs would have been a match for would be the Dron Williams-Boozer Jazz. And even then Coach Sloan would have locked him down with defensive schemes and physicality

My bad yo. Totally forgot about Nash, Stoudemire, and the Matrix. LeHype wouldn't have ANY Finals appearances if he played his whole career in the Western Conference! BAAHAAHAHAHA! :lmao

Joe Johnson was also on that team. Later, it was Grant Hill and Shaq. Early, it took Horry Hip Check and I think during a later year it took a random Tim Duncan 3 to beat them. Raja Bell would have probably locked down Young LeBron TBH. Also probably no multiple MVPs when having to battle Kobe, Nash, Dirk, etc. in the West.

Maybe... his Cavs would have survived a 7 game series against the Brandon Roy-LMA Blazers:

:lol LeGOAT wouldn't have even broken a sweat against any of those teams except for the Spurs. The soft-ass Suns, Blazers and Jazz would have been like a vacation compared to playing the Celtics and Pistons.

[phxspurfan]

Seriously, compare LeBron's "GOAT" career to Jordan's, when Jordan played in the vastly superior Eastern Conference during his prime. He had to contend with the Bad Boys Pistons with their like 5 hall of famers, the Bird Celtics with like 4 HOFers, the 90s Knicks, Reggie Miller Pacers, etc. LeBron would often have cake walk series like Milwaukee (teams that made the playoffs in the East with a sub .500 record) and then play like the Nets or something, then Detroit, but not prime Detroit (which would have curb stomped LeBron's Cavs if they even made the playoffs during Detroit's Prime years (04/05)).

DK had a pathetic 1-9 playoff record without MVPippen, lost in the first round several times, got totally owned by a white American player (Bird), and needed Stern to change the rules to make it easier for him to win. And he still didn't win shit until the Celtics and Pistons got too old to compete. And other than maybe the '93 Suns, he played nothing but cupcakes in the Finals. He never had to face a team like the Duncan Spurs, the KD/Westbrook/Harden Thunder, or the current Warriors. He was on the Warriors of his era.

The comparison ends there. DK isn't even better than Kareem, Duncan or Russell, let alone LeGOAT.

[dfens]

son lebronze being drafted by a competent franchise is a scary thought tbh, because he's guaranteed a quality team, a competent coach and a good big.

e.g.: you flip lebronze and melo and that thuggets team is looking scary as hell tbh, very good chance they're going b2b2b.
billups / iverson
swish / afflalo when he could play
lebronze
kmart
nene / birdman

tbh lebronze was extremely unlucky to not be molded by a good coach in a competent offense at an early stage of his career, otherwise he'd be getting dpoys and working on that jumper much earlier instead of dancing on the sideline and playing in that dumpsterfire team. Say what you want but that nigga is sensitive and he wouldn't stay losing long, so the collusion era would also start early. Tbh the western conference is lucky that lebronze went east.

[Clipper Nation]

Also, let's not pretend that DK's playoff paths were so difficult when MVPippen was carrying him to rings... unless teams led by the likes of Reggie Miller, Steve Smith, Keith Van Horn and Glen Rice counts as "the hard road."

[140]

Even senile Hubie is ESPNs best commentator tbh

[phxspurfan]

bruh. legoat stomped on the ben wallace pistons which was better than any bad boys squad :lol

Oh really?

2003-04: LeBron's rookie year. LeBrons didn't make the playoffs. In the East, where the 8th seed was the 36-46 Celtics. :lol and the Pistons won the 'ship, beating the 4 HOF Lakers in the process.

2004-05: LeBrons didn't make the playoffs. In the East, where the 8th seed was the 42-40 Nets. The Pistons made the finals and lost to the Spurs in 7

2005-06: LeBrons lost to the Pistons in the 2nd round. D-Wade won by shooting freethrows for 4 games (and Shaq grabbed some rebounds and called him Flash).
http://printableteamschedules.com/images/nba/2006nbaplayoffsbracketresults.gif

2006-07: LeBrons beat Detroit in 6. And then got swept by the Spurs :lol
...BTW Detroit had already lost Ben Wallace in Free Agency and was giving major minutes to guys like Carlos Delfino, Flip Murray, Jason Maxiell and 40 year old C-Webb.
http://printableteamschedules.com/images/nba/2007nbaplayoffsbracketresults.gif

2007-08: LeBrons get rekt by Boston in the 2nd round, after not having to play Detroit who was in the other half of the bracket and made the Eastern Conf Finals.
http://printableteamschedules.com/images/nba/2008nbaplayoffsbracketresults.gif

2008-09: LeBrons lost to Orlando... :lolwtf? ...after cake walking through an 8th seeded shell of its former self Detroit, and :monkeyball Atlanta
http://printableteamschedules.com/images/nba/2009nbaplayoffsbracketresults.gif

2009-10: LeBrons lost to the Celtics (again) GOAT...yes of course.
http://printableteamschedules.com/images/nba/2010nbaplayoffsbracketresults.gif

2010-11: LeBron flees Cleveland after 0 finals wins and goes to the Super Heatles which lose to the Mavs :lol


During his prime, LeBron's comp was inferior af besides the Celtics (08-10) who crushed him and prime Pistons (04-06) who he avoided for the most part by not even making the playoffs. The Pistons' prime was when Big Ben was winning DPOYs and anchoring their defense. LeBron only one once against that team, and didn't even make the playoffs or got shit on during the rest of their prime. Later they were old and were starting to rely on older CWebb and lost Big Ben.


Also if Lebron is the GOAT, how did the Dwert + Jameer Midgetson Magic beat his souped up Cleveland squad in the playoffs? Oh, right. They added Rashard Lewis, an ancillary player on a fringe West team that went out East and instantly became an All-NBA level talent.

If you can match LeHype's teams athletically and talent wise, his teams fold like a cheap suit. 148 points to the Thunder? :lmao At home? :lol LeHype will need even MORE help at the trade deadline :lmao

He can't beat Chuckbrook, you think he tryna step to Chef and KD? N:lolpe

[Pelicans78]

bruh. legoat stomped on the ben wallace pistons which was better than any bad boys squad :lol

He never beat Ben Wallace's Pistons. Webber was the center when Lebron beat the Pistons in 2007. Wallace had signed with the Bulls by then. And the Bad Boys were much deeper than the Billups-Wallace Pistons squad.

Your takes have to be some of the worst I've heard. You'd get laughed out of most locker room conversations but you think you're cool because your takes are contrarian.

Not agreeing with CN but the east was clearly the weaker conference during Jordan’s reign. The bulls usually struggle with teams with dominant bigs (see Knicks with Ewing and even pacers with Smits). That’s why I always doubt the bulls would have 8peated if Jordan didn’t get suspended for killing his own dad as both fatigue and Hakeem would’ve stopped him. The west teams were spent by the time they got to the finals, after the bulls dispatch the likes of the Bucks, nets and “formidable” teams like the Knicks and pacers.

Besides, the bulls never had a crazy dominant run, even that 72-10 season didn’t end in a 15-1 or 15-0 run. The bulls were not able to dominate the sonics due to kemp (which makes all the talk about how great a defender bulls rodman laughable, he was not where close to pistons rodman and was generally an annoying brat to pull mind games and stat pad for rebounds at that point).

Jordan was great, but not the clear cut greatest. He’s along Kareem, bird, magic, wilt and Russell as candidates.

At this point, comparing lebron to Jordan is a little of a stretch. Lebron won 3 titles on absolutely loaded teams. Jordan won 6 on perimeter loaded teams but below average front court.

The only players who can claim winning titles in the modern era with average support are Hakeem, Duncan and dirk. And really that doesn’t mean much.

[Clipper Nation]

In all honesty, the Bulls would have lost to that Sonics team if George Karl didn't wait until they were down 3-0 to put Payton on DK. Refs saved them against the Jazz in '98, too. And DK's gambling suspension lined up perfectly with the years that Hakeem would have otherwise beaten the Bulls in the Finals.

[lefty]

The Rockets would have beaten Chicago, no doubt

[lefty]

Magic was great but the West was shit tbh.
And didn't Magic benefit from ref protection too?

[ambchang]

Jazz would’ve lost regardless of refs because they have the only true choking “superstar” in nba history.

[ambchang]

Magic was great but the West was shit tbh.
And didn't Magic benefit from ref protection too?

True on both counts but Jordan protection was just embarrassing.

I think the 80s west was worse than the 90s east and still the magic still needed the Sterns to destroy the lives of some talented rockets players to make the finals 3 more times.

The result is that magic thought he could walk on water and go out and have unprotected homosexual and heterosexual sex, leading to the premature ending to his caree. But more importantly caused a number of undeserving victims to contact HIV in the process. Stern didn’t just cheat for the lakers, he killed people for it.

[Killakobe81]

Magic was great but the West was shit tbh.
And didn't Magic benefit from ref protection too?

and Bird did not?!
West was weaker than East yet Lakers beat every East powerhouse at least once of that era; Celts, Sixers pistons

[Clipper Nation]

The '80s West was by far the shittiest excuse for a conference in NBA history. Seriously, anyone who thinks the East sucks should go take a look at some of the Showtime Lakers' roads to the Finals.

[lefty]

and Bird did not?!

Nah he owned all those black dudes.
Well CN will tell you Stern told black players to go easy on him.

Tarpley Aguirre Ro Blackmon and dHarper Mavs are better than every team in the East outside of cavs, celts and maybe Raptors...but im leaning mavs over Raptors.
i also would take drexler porter 80s Blazers team over most of the east too

He was probably referring to the 80s pre-88.

This is the year when other teams in the West started to get better.

(I know, 86 Rockets but ww know what happened the following season).

Some of the WC finalist had a .500 FFS

They were. If they are going to go far and beat GS, need to believe they can beat them. Nobody shit talks anymore.

He and Frauden got their shit pushed in by 80-year-old Manu.

And Blake got raped by the corpse of Corey Brewer. Even made him dress up like a bitch afterwards.

And you would still welcome him back on your team. Just like you did before Durant left OKC by calling him Durbeta and still welcoming him. Your shtick is old and unoriginal.

No thanks. Especially not for the $207 million he'd be making. I've seen more than enough dribbling, flopping, scapegoating, and choking to last a lifetime.

Clueless as usual. Have fun giving over $200 million to an injury-prone, 6'0" career loser in his 30s this offseason!

Glen Rivers, carried by Garnett, Allen, Rondo, Pierce, and Thibs. We saw what he did with a prime McGrady, 3-1.

Oh and lol choking away the Duncan deal.
