    Doubt it... Nobody even talks about Magic beating all 30 and 40 win teams on his road to the Finals in 2 Title runs... Or the fact that the West in the 90's was much better than Jordan's East.

    Now, of course, you would love for this to be remembered as "weak competition" for LeBron... Sadly it wont.

    They will remember his titles, probably 3-4, and his finals appearances... Which could reach about 10 in total... amazing.

    For Jordan and Magic, they had a winning record against the other Conference in the Playoffs

    2/6 coming up

    Actually to be honest I think they could lose to Chicago or (gasp) Miami if the latter two are healthy and maybe make an addition at the deadline.

    LeBron is currently playing in one of the weakest conferences ever while the Western Conference is looking like one of the toughest conferences ever.

    It's like we saw last year in the Finals, the East had to represent SOMEBODY that would just get smashed by whoever came out of the West.

    Can't wait for the annual LeBron choke job in the finals. It is like the Olympics every year for me.

    Just like no one remembers/cares about Jordan ending the Showtime era by beating a crippled Laker team with starters out with injuries, and no one remembers/cares about the 08 Celtics beating the Lakers without two of their starters, no one will remember Lebron's competition. They'll just see that he got to the finals five times in a row, and will rank him accordingly.

    Worthy still played 4/5 games in the Finals and averaged almost 20 ppg, which was in line with his usual production.

    James in for game 5 wasn't going to save the Lakers from getting beat, they were done after game 3 IMO.

    Jordan was playing with a foot injury in the 91 Finals as well. He had to cut his shoe open and play with it like that because of the pain.

    Pretty much sure everyone would remember Jordan being 2/5 in the NBA Finals and losing a Finals MVP to Dan Majerle or something
