Okay so call it 6-1 6-1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2-4.I agree that getting there and losing >>>>>>> not getting there. But Jordan got there 6 times out of 7, and he always Finish!(ed) when he did. And while LeBron making it five times straight is impressive, winning the modern Eastern conference is not exactly winning the East when Jordan was there. Those Piston teams >>>>>>>> any team LeBron has faced in his career, and that Magic team was better than any of the dreck LeBron's beaten out the last few years.The pro LeBron argument is that the two Cavs team he took to the Finals were far worse than any team Jordan or Kobe ever took there. The 95 Magic don't do anything to help LeBron's case, IMO.

He played 17 games. No training camp, no extended practice before showing up, etc. He had some moments like the 55 point game against the Knicks at MSG, but he was understandably rusty. He shot 41%.From a roster standpoint the team might have been one player away. For the first 3 championships, the Bulls had Horace Grant. For the last 3 they had Dennis Rodman. Jordan's legend would have been that much greater if he won that year, but there really isn't anything to criticize about it. He won 6 fucking championships and was the best player in the league for all 6. LeBron is great, but he waltzes through a dreckfest conference every year until the finals. Race will argue that Jordan's teams were so much better, but they also played better competition. They had to get through Detroit and the early 90's Knicks were damn good. The 2nd run was easier. The 2011-12 Celtics were the only team from the East worth a damn the past five years LBJ has made the finals.
I will argue that claiming the East has been so bad all 5 years is dooging at its finest. Winners win and Lebron owns the East.Same folks claim the pac 12 doesn't suck even though oregon wins it rather easilyJordan beat a shitty West every year other than PhoenixWhy not just let the results stand? Jordan doesn't get blamed for 95 because he was playing baseball.Pippen claiming he was a good as Lebron is what deserves shit

The Pistons broke up once they lost to the Bulls. The Knicks were the Knicks. The rest of the east was non existent. The NBA has always been top heavy. It's like none of you actually watch basketball.A 4 year old in 1991 is telling me about Jordan

I'm going to definitely home it up and say the 95-96 sonics with payton-kemp-shrempf in their prime was a legit team as well.

Do you have a poster of LeBron in your bedroom too? That's not a counter argument, that's an admission of defeat Right. What are you even arguing? LeBron is as good as Jordan? The East hasn't been a dreckfest? I've said LeBron is great many times. It's undeniable, but you get butthurt over any comment that doesn't gush over him.

Lebron beat the Spurs. A better team than any one that Jordan faced

It's like none of you actually watch basketball.A 4 year old in 1991 is telling me about Jordan GOT Because there hasn't been books and documentaries made about that time frame. ESPN Classic never replays the games either. The stats and records have been wiped clean. I wasn't aware that someone who wasn't alive for the Civil War can't be knowledgeable about it.
Let's also add that Lebron would be 1-5 if Ray Allen hadn't made arguably the most clutch shot in NBA finals history.
