Just agreeing with some of you that said Lebron hasn't really faced tough competition in the playoffs over the years, and this is one of them. A playoff team with a losing record in Milwaukee round 1, a Chicago team that was missing 3 of its 5 starters for a few games in the series, and a Pacers team without their starting small forward Danny Granger who was the Indiana Pacers' leading scorer last year.

a very easy road to the finals for Miami this year.
I agree, it's an easy road to the finals for Miami this year.

Agree with everything.
Jordan also lead a team with 72-10 record in 95-96 season and then almost repeated a back to back 70 win season with a 69-13 record in 96-97, as well as winning championships in those seasons. Jordan unmatched overall. Kobe is more similar to Jordan as far as their game is concern. Kobe is a great competitor as well and doesn't shy from taking the big shots. Kobe is fun to watch.

Lebron has more to prove. He's definitely carrying his team in these playoffs. Magic is a better comaparison with Lebron as far as their game is concern and IMO Magic is still better than Lebron. Prime Magic vs prime Lebron, I'd take the 6'9" point guard Magic all the way over Lebron, specially after watching Lebron against Jimmy Butler. Lebron made Butler look like an allstar in the last series against the Bulls. After the Bulls series, Lebron said "WOW, that's a lot more than I expected"
