Translation: Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons is recruiting LeGOAT hard.
Between 2003 and 2018, if he were in the Western Conference all dem years, how many times would he have gotten out of the West?
Keep in mind he'd have to go thru your Spurs, my Lakers, the Blazers, Queens, and the Suns. My guess: 1 or 2 Finals appearances - if that.
So no, making it out of the East 8 times, with a ing 3-5 record ain't impressive to me.

which team is he on in your fantacy 2003-18 West Conf?
LakerTroll? That's rich, gs.
But I'll play along. Cavs were gifted #1 New York Knicks or San Antonio Spurs style, then Darko went 2nd to Detroit. That leaves me with Denver selecting the Kang at #1 instead of Melo.
So he'd be in the Rocky Mountains for 15 years. How many Finals appearances does he have then? Actually in this scenario, he would have none (like Melo) and like it
FOH bragging on somebody getting out the putrid East. That's like a married man bragging that he got some pussy on his honeymoon

So now LeBron has to stay with the Nuggets his entire 16 years, and have no other star join the Nuggets?
Shaq left Orlando. Remember that?
MVPau was able to leave Memphis and hook up with Bynum, relatively sane Odum, and that okay almond headed role player along with the rigged reffing. Ya that's fair.
Dunker had GNob, Prime Parker etc.
This comparison that attempts to pigeon hole LeBron on the same Denver team for 16 years while other stars are free to move and/or have star talent added to them is a 1/10 troll attempt.

Boiled down, he was bailed out by Battier in 2012. Ray Ray bailed him out in 2013. Dr. Dray was suspended in 2016 (along with Bogut, their defensive anchor being hurt). And it was Killa Kyrie that hit the shot heard around the world that year - bailing him out a 3rd time (lucky bastid). Otherwise he's 0-8PERIOD. That's proof he couldn't hang in the West.
Nobody can win without a decent supporting cast? Wow, never thought of that. Totally blew my mind.Boiled down, he was bailed out by Battier in 2012. Ray Ray bailed him out in 2013.

Just look at all that impact

LeGOAT didn't need to be "bailed out" in 2012. The Heat won that series 4-1. It wasn't even close.
In 2013, LeGOAT scored 16 of the Heat's 30 fourth-quarter points in 6. He then made the series-winning shot in Game 7.
In 2016, LeGOAT led both teams in every statistical category and especially dominated the final three games. His block on Iguodala demoralized the Warriors.
Meanwhile, Kobe got bailed out repeatedly by Horry, Fisher, Stern, Artest, MVPau, etc.

There is truth to what you’re saying but whose fault is it that he couldn’t hold onto a solid nucleus? Gotta place some
blame on lebron for that too
This thread belongs in the history books
Replaced by George Hill, an average NBA starter, yet the Cavs will finish with the same result as last year..
Unless you are Curry (and even he starts to look human on the playoffs), if you are below 6'6'', you aren't really all that important.
The last 3 minutes of the game is precisely why Boston needs a closer like Kyrie. They struggled with guys like Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier taking franchise player shots

You said LeBron was missing Kyrie. He isn't. Take the L and move on.
Let's not forget that at age 33 Jordan and his Bulls had a 72-10 season and pulverized the league. Jordan was carrying the Bulls in 98 when Rodman had checked out mentally and Pippen's back was shot, and he was 35.
I would have never believed that someone could have made a legitimate case to defy him, and LeBron has. There isn't that much between the two. But I'd still pick Jordan.
RIP to this thread, tbh.
Well replace Pippen with John Starks and replace Rodman with Eric Murdock and you'll have a better comparison for Lebron.
Still waiting for the "Boston had Kyrie and Gordon out and it still took Lebron 7 games" narrative.
