Easiest path to a ring in NBA history?
Is LeBron about to win the easiest championship in NBA history?
Let's look at the facts:
1) LeBron jumps to the Western Conference to change the narrative that's dogged him his whole career about playing in the Leastern Conference... Except he waits until the coast is clear and the best competition (Dynasty Warriors) get dismantled to do it.
2) Got lucky getting to dodge the Battle of LA matchup vs Kawhi and the Clippers
3) Didn't have to worry about facing the KD/Kyrie super duo with a deep Nets squad in the NBA Finals (who would've steamrolled through the Least just like LeBron did all those years). Durantula has been his kryptonite in the Finals
4) Got lucky that the league MVP Giannis has a sh*t supporting cast
5) Faced an inferior version of the Rockets after Morey stupidly traded Point Gawd CP3 for chemistry killer Westbrick
6) Ben Simmons sat out bubble due to injury
7) LeBron got 5 months to rest up and heal because of Covid and the benefit of a shortened season (benefits older players)
8) NBA Bubble with no fans is like playing scrimmages in practice (no travel, no away games, etc.)
9) Faces the Miami Heat, the WORST opponent in NBA Finals history with no true Superstar
10) The "best" team he faced the entire playoffs is Denver Nuggets team that makes the 2009 Melo/Billuips Nuggets look like a Superteam in comparison
11) LeBron got to be a side-kick to a soon-to-be Finals MVP Anthony Davis
12) Got bailed out by AD vs the Nuggets with an epic buzzerbeating game-winner for the ages
13) League clearly pushing for Lakers to win because of "Kobe's memory" (exploiting his tragic death)
Thoughts?

everyone knows that lebron teamed up with peak Tim Duncan (AD) and deep down isn't impressed
but everyone treats lebron like a little kid that they don't want to tell Christmas isn't real

nick wright SWORE that giannis would win the 19' title.
then despite seeing the flaws in Giannis' game exposed, he doubles down and picks Giannis again in 2020..
nick picks Giannis because he views Giannis as a lebron-type of player that can bulldoze and overpower down the lane - nick wright's limited knowledge of basketball prefers thinking about the game in these simple terms, rather than considering actual skill, which nick knows nothing about
so don't listen to nick .he's wrong and misses big stuff

Actually, the reason he did that was to build up Giannis (even though he has a sh*t squad not worthy of helping him contend) because he thought his boyfriend LeBron would face him the Finals, so if LeBron won (which he would've easily done) he could've built up LeBron even more for defeating "the legendary Giannis Bucks"

Re: Easiest path to a ring in NBA history?
I'll address these stupid points
1) he went to la last two offseasons ago when cousins went to gs and they seemed unbeatable lol...
2) are we sure, lac's flaws got exposed quite a bit. why couldnt the lakers expose them even more than denver did. Always flawed to judge a team just based on the sum of talent
3) again he went last year he likely didnt even see kd/kyrie coming. Also I just disagree and I've said it on this board a lot, they're more obviously flawed than the clips unless they make some roster moves
4) giannis also shit the bed himself if you're being honest. his cast is not championship level but not shit. on paper they should've come out of the east, none of the east contenders are super teams.
5) sure. people still thought the rockets were pretty good. Lebron got lucky westbrook was coming off injury but there's a decent chance he doesnt play too well even if healthy.
6) lol just irrelevant. based on getting swept and their massive fit issues, they werent a finals threat
7) agreed but he's not the only one. for example, many thought harden would benefit a lot with rest and he did play well individually in the playoffs. someone like kawhi could always use rest.
8) I would argue no road games help other guys especially role players. lebron's pretty road proof granted i dont have home/road playoff splits for him.
9) it's the majority opinion on the other thread that's not the case if healthy. they are awful with no bam/dragic so yes that's pretty lucky
10) that's subjective and point is irrelevant. Even if kobe had a harder run(ofc you go back to him), that doesnt mean this is the easiest path in NBA history. 87 lakers is an obvious counterexample
11) and plenty of hofers got to be a sidekick and many people would disagree that lebron is the sidekick. magic and kareem alternated and had all stars around them, your guy kobe too.
12) you're going need to get specific with a lot of video evidence to argue for rigging.
