HOT TAKE: Lebron wouldn’t be widely considered the GOAT if he played in the West his entire career. No east = no 9 straight finals.

Y'all taking this east/west stuff too far, a player's career shouldn't be criticized for beating the teams in front of them

shouldn't even be considered the goat now, "finals appearance" is what you say about a player or team when they weren't good enough to win. a legacy of coming up short more often than not when you were primed to win it all isn't a goat campaign.

it’s more of not giving so much credit than it is criticizing him

achievement is achievement. rather make it to the finals 9 times than lose in the first or second you know? you can’t win them all, not even bill russell did. it’s not just about a teams championship count the player as an individual and his impact in all aspects of the game should be the major consideration when discussing who is considered the greatest player. sometimes the greatest player in the world can never win a championship, it doesn’t mean he as an individual isnt the most talented yk?
