Lets leave LeBron out of this. He has 12 1st team all NBA awards. Most ever. And that has nothing to do with conference dominance. That's LEAGUE DOMINANCE Holmes. Like Pac said ..."its not about east and west...."

Clearly, he wasn't talking about LeBron's "east dominance" meaning he was only a great player against Eastern conference teams. It's a reference to the eight straight finals appearances. And the relative strength of each conference's squad of stars is obviously relevant to that achievement.

LeBron's almost inarguably a top 10 player, arguably top 5, possibly the GOAT. (I think that's the most you can say for anyone.) The eight straight finals is a hell of an achievement. But it is very often overstated and the fact that the East has been so much weaker during that time has to be a part of the conversation-- It would not be as impressive as these Warriors making five straight finals appearances if they end up doing that. If this year's Lakers played in Cleveland, LeBron would have made the playoffs and would possibly still be playing-- That wouldn't make him any better than he is in LA, just luckier. His greatness shouldn't be artificially inflated by contrast against weak competition.

Who in the East is going to take advantage of the "weak comp" and go to 8 straight Finals now? Embiid? Kawhi? :lol:

Alan Horwitz. He's been a season ticket holder for over 40 years.
Next time I go to a game I gotta say what's up to him.
