I feel like Atlanta are being border-line disrespected by most.. They won 60 flowering games.

I'm gonna pick 'em in 7.

I'll go with you - just cos I don't like Lebron

Hypothetically... would LeBron James legacy be different if had played all his games in the western conference?

I think we'd all still see him in the same way.

surely it wouldn't be as high with probably 2-3 finals series for maybe 1 ring. I don't understand how losing 3 finals series is a bad thing.

for some reason making the finals and losing is rated below not even making the finals. If Lebron makes it to the finals and losses people will go only 2 out of 6 he isn't a closer like MJ. I say they both tie for 6 CF wins.

I will say that having a CP3 type career is much more likely in the west... CP has been elite for a decade, and never made the conf. finals. Not saying LeBron would have that little success but it's possible he doesn't make the 2007, 2011 or 2014 finals if he had to go through the west. Obviously can't say that about 2012 or 2013 since he won.

I think it's what makes Tim Duncan's career actually underrated, having to go through the gauntlet every single year.

i was thinking the road to even make the playoffs would have been harder, he have more wear and tear, not certain he would have made as many NBA Finals if he had to go through Timmy, Dirk, Kobe etc

The Celts big 3 was probably the biggest challenge he got, and they stopped him in '08 and '10. Then almost in '12 when they were washed up.

But I still think the '13 Spurs are one of the best teams I've ever seen and LBJ stopped them so gotta give him some credit there.
