We're penalizing LeBron because he overachieved and made it to the finals when his team had no business of being there? I guess he should have lost in the first round like Jordan did. That seems to be a bigger achievement in people's eyes... 2011 is the only year you can hold against him. That's it.
Jordan never had to face an all time great time like the warriors or 2014 SAS. He never had a finals appearance where both Pippen and Rodman were injured as well...
Let's also not forget Bulls won 55 games WITHOUT Jordan in 94 and almost made it to the conference finals without him. The only Lebron teams I can think of that may have been able to achieve that feat is the 2011 & 2012 Miami teams because of D Wade. Bulls winning 55 games without him and being 1 game away from the conference finals just shows how great of a team Jordan had around him. It would be fair to say he always had the superior squad in the finals. 6/6 record under those circumstances doesn't really surprise me...
What year did you start watching the NBA?
Lebron fans are something else.
Every season From 2010 until 2014 Lebron James played on the most talented team in the NBA. He did this while also playing in a horrible Eastern Conference.
When did his teams overachieve? a 3-6 record in the Finals is garbage with the amount of talent LBJ played with.
The Golden St Warriors were what the Miami Heat were supposed to be.
The 2007 and 2014 Spurs, 2011 Mavericks, and 2015 and 16 Golden St Warriors were not any better than some teams that Jordan defeated in the 1990's.
The 16, 17 and 18 Warriors are the only teams that were clearly better than any team that Jordan faced.
Corrected.
