I think its not cynicism, I think guys just get tired of the ESPN slurpfests of random Lebron stats

this is also true, as @Mamba MVP  stated.

If its not a form of cynicism, its at least cyclical

I wonder why 45 wins was the benchmark. Maybe because there've been more 50-win teams in the last 10 years in the East than there were in the West from '80-'89.


These lame conference hot takes are dumb.

Not to mention that the point was that magic played in a significantly weaker western conference than eastern conference during that time.

Just like Lebron is now. The difference between lebron's east and magic's west is a moot point. They both played in the far weaker conference during that time.

 
Somehow though, this gets swept under the rug with LAL and Magic's run during the 80's.

This and the fact Magic lost 4 Finals.

Lebron feelin himself way too hard quoting Teddy Roosevelt

If Cavs were in the West, Lebron wouldn't have left Miami?
Is this what you guys are saying?


Man......shut up

If LeBron were in the West, he'd be CP0. 

If Kobe didn't get traded to the Lakers you'd be eating Shaq cakes.

Seriously, man, give it a rest.

You stay posting nonsense.

Every great player gets this in today's era.

Yea, dude can play. He's a scratch golfer now with little practice. If he put in the work, he'd win a few tourneys.

 

[mister friendly]

Would having 22-25 teams from 1980-89 vs 30 teams affect the amount of 50 win teams?

 

[larry david]

 
Is JR Blowed?

 
My dude looks LIT

Dude ate them edibles at the beginning of the 4th quarter.... he's prime.

@Mamba MVP

Tell us stories of how your Lakers beat teams that started George Lynch and Aaron Williams.

Those Kidd Nets + Pacers squads. Are you srs?

Eric Snow?

LOL

 

[brandon3000]

Happy for JR and the rest of the team. Love my Cavs man

how does it get swept under the rug?

they were ultimately judged off how many rings they won.   they went 5-3 in the finals in the 80's which means they won 5 titles. the west was weak but utlimately they won 5 of the 8 finals they appeared in.

if lebrons cavs/heat teams win a similar number with a similar record when it's all said and done the east being weak is a moot point.

if they proceed to get washed by the warriors, people are in denial if they don't admit that 5 straight finals appearances is a reflection of playing in an inferior conference.    i'm not mentioning the 07 finals because taking that crap cavs team to the finals and beating detroit was an accomplishment in its own but they had no chance in hell of beating the spurs that year.

JR was killing me

Dope huh

"The 28-year old could be a participant one day. Five years since falling in love with the sport—and with only two lessons since—Smith averages 310 yards off the tee and has an accomplished handicap of 13, establishing himself as one of the best golfers in the NBA. He boasts that the great Michael Jordan, a fellow golf aficionado, won't even play him."
