Why is there very little significance in winning the East or West pennant? (alien.top)

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’s really only on this sub that the majority do not enjoy the game.

When I talk basketball outside, they may not know the smaller details down to the statistics but it’s more fun and casual.

You can say stupid shit and agree to disagree and still have a good time.

Over here, you’re either right or you’re wrong, and either way you’re losing because this is a toxic environment that we all love to be a part of because we’re all so fucked up oh my god I need help.
