MJ never had that kind of talent around. MJ did play for one of the best coaches ever. The competition to get to the finals has been marshmallow soft in the east during Lebron's run.
MJ had to go through some serious talent just to get to the finals. He never got a cream puff like Atlanta. He had to go through the Pistons that one just one a championship, Shaq, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, and the 90s Cavs were all very good teams. LBJ had to beat a good Boston team with KG and Pierce, average Indiana team twice, average Bulls team, and a horrible Atlanta team.
