Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
It seems that the heat and pacers are playing against rubbish teams night in and night out.. Where the thunder have at least 8 other very good teams to battle against in the west... My question.. Does this give Lebron an unhealthy MVP advantage? We all know there is a major imbalance in the conferences now.. But is it enough to inflate someone's stats enough... Now I'm not saying Lebron hasn't played at a MVP level.. But I do believe his statlines would be Lower if he was in the west..
What do you think?

no it doesn't, it's taken into account i'm sure just like how lebron's record vs the west is taken into account

Yep, Bron struggles mightily against the super stacked West. What are his stats and record against the West again? :lol

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
Lebron is better vs the West than the East.

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
Stacked team, garbage opponents, and still needs to statpad.

But there is a difference in coming up against a strong west team once every 2 weeks compared to playing them 2 times a week.. There is a major difference when you have to grind against those teams night in and night out..

This question is inherently stupid.

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
KD has an advantage since the Thunder are more familiar with the strong Western teams. Lebron plays them twice a year and still dominates.

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
18-7 against teams over 500, best record in the league
west doesn't even play defense anyway.

If anything, it gives Durant an advantage since Lebron and the Heat always play better against the West.

Your logic doesn't hold up.
You could say the West teams have the advantage against KD because they are more familiar with the Thunder. :facepalm
At the end of the day, LeBron plays in a garbage conference with a stacked team.
Good player, but even better circumstances.

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
Stupid thread. If anything KD has an advantage by playing the West teams more often. West teams may be better, but they play at a faster tempo, making it much easier to accumulate gaudy stats. Lebron's averages against Western teams are always much higher than against Eastern teams. Nice try though.

It's a pointless thread. You're talking about inflated stats when (last time I checked) Lebron has better stats against the West. Better win% too.

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
Lebron always owns the West doe.
Thread backfire. :roll:

Just imagine if KD had to play in the rough and rugged Eastern Conference full time. He might average about 20 ppg on 42 percent shooting, and that is being generous.

Yeah, LeBron has to play an entire 4th quarter whilst up double digits against a sub-500 team. What a legend!

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
Basically, no player from the East gets any credit regardless. That West logic.

Hyperbole, but the East has long been the better conference defensively.
-
Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
No but the constant bail-out touch fouls kd gets are definitely padding his scoring stats and giving him an advantage. Thats the same reason why I believe kobe is the better scorer, the guy never got half the favoritism kd gets right now and didnt have the length advantage but still managed to outscore him based purely on skill
Lebron>kobe>>>kd

Nah, league would compensate Servant with 7 more free throws per game in the East.

Can't be sure. They play mediocre competition to inflate their records and stats. Are we even sure Paul George can dribble properly? We need to be sure.

Um, this isn't Jerry West we discussing here. Paul George can dribble properly, but all East players still garbage doe. Dat West life. :lol

Re: Does playing in a rubbish conference give LBJ a MVP advantage over KD?
I believe that if the Heat played in the Western Conference they'd only be sitting on one finals appearance right now. Get rid of the conferences and just create divisions.
