Not even kidding, if you look at his collection of wins in the final, it very well may be the greatest list of teams out of anyone. The Spurs he beat were ridiculous too.

Even if you look at total teams played in the finals, not just wins, LeBron probably faced the toughest group of Finals opponents of anyone in NBA History
Combine that with his lack of help in 2007, 2014, 2015. And LeBron has the biggest talent differential (how much better the opposing teams were talent wise compared to his own team) of any player in NBA History

It'd be interesting to see the win average for the teams Bron faced in the finals.
73, 67 and 62 win teams are the only 3 I can remember. Obviously the lockout would be adjusted too.

Dirk beating Thunder, Lakers, Heat in one playoff season was more legendary.

But that Thunder team didn't reach their full potential together before they were broken up. Durant and Westbrook weren't in their primes at that point
And come on it's not like LeBron didn't have any help. That Heat team was one of the most stacked teams ever with LeBron, Bosh and Wade together. They made it to the NBA finals four times in a row. And the Cavaliers are pretty stacked. I mean really they have LeBron, Irving, Love, Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, Smith, Timofey Mozgov, Mo Williams, Tristan Thompson. That is a very stacked roster

Nah, I like what Lebron did in 2012 better. Chris Bosh went down in Round 2 and it was supposed to be over for the Heat, as they were playing Roy Hibbert and David West with a terrible frontcourt. Lebron stepped in and delivered.
