      @@jaydot4956 With all due respect that is what I am saying that Lebron did beat up on bad teams. You Pistons argument is one and facing them in the playoffs doesn't exclude the fact that the weakest teams were in the East which he got to face more often than in the East. Big difference going against several good teams multiple times versus only two games in a regular season. For example Shaq and Kobe's had bigger obstacles getting to the 2000 NBA finals than the Pacers but you'll see better records in the East versus the 2006 Lebron season you are talking about. Lebron made it and that is great for him but that doesn't change the fact of the conference he was in that isn't something he could control. So here is a little reminder of that 2006 season showing the 8 playoff teams for each conference. Also it is like the fact that Lebron is currently 4th place in total missed shots in NBA history: 13,282 and that he will probably soon pass Kobe at 14,481. It boils down that ya Lebron made a lot of points which is awesome but he laid up a lot of bricks too. Everyone likes their player to be celebrated but facts are facts. Spurs 63-19
      Suns 54-28
      Nuggets 44-38

      He only missed the playoffs the first year after that he was back in the playoffs

      Kobe was trying to get traded during that time too but the Lakers said no. Then they got Gasol and some other good players and became a champion again.
