the analogy would be more appropriate if there was just this 1 dominant team that was winning everything in sight, and lebron (and every other great of the era) just didn't have the dogs to compete.

basically, if the steph/KD warriors had existed for the last decade and a half.

but that hasn't been the case. 5 or 6 different teams have stopped lebron from padding his ring totals. so it's not a wilt/west/oscar type deal.
