It seems like a lot of fans like to use the 4-6 argument for Lebron or Finals losses affect a player's legacy negatively more than early round losses. Why don't we celebrate winning the East/West pennant more often? It's almost as if making the Finals is as useful as making the playoffs and getting knocked out in the first round.

Yet in the MLB making the World Series is a BIG deal even if you get swept and blown out each game. It's considered so prestigious that we always say AL or NL pennant. Why don't NBA ever get to the same prestige level on winning the pennant as MLB?

It really felt like as soon as lebron went to the west , all of a sudden there was an influx of star talent to the east. Lebron had the east Gm’s thinking it was pointless to take big risks because he was gonna smoke them anyways so they waited him out .
