James takes advantage of the weak dividends of the Eastern Conference? US media: James has won the Eastern Conference for 8 consecutive years and the Eastern Conference has been in chaos for seven yea

The time is coming to early June, and the 2024-25 NBA Finals are in progress. In this year's finals, the team representing the East in the finals is the young Indiana Pacers. As a youth army, the Pacers were able to pass the lane and defeat powerful teams such as the Bucks, Cavaliers and Knicks to reach the finals, proving their ability. At the same time, the Pacers are also a new face that has been able to win the Eastern Conference championship in the past decade.

While the Pacers represented the East in the finals, the American media once again praised the greatness of Lakers star LeBron James. The American media posted a picture, which reads: James won the Eastern Conference championship for eight consecutive years for the Heat and the Cavaliers. Since James signed with the Lakers and came to the Western Conference, in the next seven years, from 2019 to 2025, six players were led by teams to win the Eastern Conference championship, and no other Eastern Conference championship was the only one.

This is undoubtedly a praise for James' dominance. In fact, the author is also very impressed by James' strong dominance. In the eight years from 2011 to 2018, James led the Heat and the Cavaliers to the East for eight consecutive years and entered the finals. The value of this achievement is probably self-evident. Is this worth blowing? Of course it's worth it! The difficulty of James' achievement is reflected in his strong dominance and stability:

James played for the Heat and the Cavaliers during this period. What level of opponents do he faced? It is a powerful team such as Rose's Bulls, George's Pacers, Howard's Magic, and the Big Three of the Celtics. James led the team to break through as a core identity. During this period, the playoff victory contribution value (WS) reached 53.2, far exceeding other stars in the same period. It can definitely be regarded as "one person is the system". James can be said to have broken up one team after another.

After James left the East, as a comparison: after 2018, no team in the East will be able to enter the finals for two consecutive years, and the Eastern Conference champions from 2019 to 2025 belong to 6 different teams respectively. The Eastern Conference champions from 2019 to 2025 are the Raptors (2019), Heat (2020), Bucks (2021), Celtics (2022), Heat (2023), Pacers (2024), and Celtics (2025), respectively, showing a "competing for the heroes". After James left, these people in the East could finally have fun.

In summary, James' eight years of Eastern Reign was a very worthy era of personal hegemony in NBA history. As for whether the value is high, everyone has their own opinions. But in my opinion, this is indeed a very powerful performance. After James joined the West, the East entered the "multi-polar battle" stage. Teams such as the Celtics, the Bucks took turns to take over the banker. Now that young teams such as the Knicks and the Pacers have risen, it is unlikely that there will be any team or individual who can replicate James' dominance.

Many people say that James was able to enter the finals for eight consecutive years because he took advantage of the weak Eastern Conference. But looking back at the past few years, why did James give up his position but others could not get the dividends? Is this very telling? Fans, how do you think about this?
