The obsession is that lebron is the most overrated star in history
The media brags about him "ruling the East" by making the Finals, and equating that with Jordan..
except jordan ruled the LEAGUE with championships... but it's 2019, so let's lower the bar for these soft, new school guys and act like making the Finals > winning it...
And they also ignore that superstar teammates weren't needed to make the Finals in 2019, or from 01-09' when AI/Kidd/Bron/Dwight made it.. the period in the middle (11-18') is when lebron teamed up with other superstars to ensure making the Finals - completely unfair
Finally, they ignore that lebron is ball-dominant like Harden and Westbrook - it's bad basketball, but colluded runs to the Finals camouflages the poor brand of ball.. nonetheless, the weak brand struggles on the championship level, 3/9
And lebron was the 2 seed in 11', true.. but only lebron lost as the favorite 3 straight years - that's a record.. and it's a record to lose 2 straight years with 60-win 1 seeds
