Full credit to LeBron, without a doubt. But there's a reason he's about to be 3-6 in NBA Finals. He is the best player who is virtually never on the best team. Like seriously, maybe twice in his entire career would you say he was on the clear best team in the NBA, and one of those times is when the Mavs won the title. The East is pathetic, and has been pathetic for the better part of a decade. The NBA badly needs to eliminate conferences for playoffs if they want actual intrigue. But if LeBron stays out East and they keep things as is, be prepared for more years of total boredom.
