I just can't stand how the league has to be watered down in order for him to make it to the finals almost every year. It is completely comical that we are going to watch him for the 8th time in the last 9 finals. I thought the Michael Jordan Bulls dynasty was nauseating. Having to now live in the Lebron era is almost as bad as having to stand in a public restroom.


Watered down? He just made the finals in the West which was stacked. The East hasn’t been this good in years.

Maybe he’s actually a great basketball player


Facing a below .500 Blazers team, an overrated Rockets team, an inexperienced Nuggets team.
Not facing the Clippers or a super team like GS of past seasons.
I'm not denying that Lebron is a talented player but he has had an easy road to the finals, not unlike some of his previous years.


GS will be the real test. the clippers as constructed won't be a threat in the playoffs

Lebron needed a Draymond Green suspension in order to beat GS. I doubt that the Lakers will repeat next season if the Warriors come back at full strength.

Denver will be too once they replace the dead weight(Harris & Mislap) with real starters.

This is precisely what he didn't do earlier in his career. And why he has rallied up my rankings in recent years. When you get to players this good the kill mentality matters for rankings.

Hi Nikola.


eehhh he took over with a lead, Jokic with 5 fouls, and Murray playing on one leg. I think by now the world gets that Lebron is a great player but lets see what he can do when everything isnt in his favor.
