LOS ANGELES—Breaking through to accomplish what so many doubters never thought he could do, LeBron James finally reached the NBA Western Conference finals after 17 seasons in the league. “LeBron’s always been on the cusp of greatness, but somehow he’s always fallen short of the Western Conference finals,” said analyst Max Kellerman of the 4-time NBA MVP, admitting it was exciting to think that after years of letting fans down, James might finally hoist the elusive Wester Conference trophy. “Even with his best rosters on the Cavs and Heat, he could never get over the hump. Magic did it. Kobe did it. But it always seemed like LeBron just didn’t have what it takes. If he can win the Western Conference, it might actually put the formerly disappointing James in the Hall-of-Fame discussion.” At press time, analyst Stephen A. Smith suggested LeBron would never be considered great until he beat Jordan in the playoffs.\n

As controversial as LeBron may be, I wish him the best in the NBA championship. He deserves the win for all the years he put his heart and soul into the game.

Nobody cares

No one cares anymore. Basketball, like The Onion, have made themselves irrelevant to many. TheOnionSucks

This isn’t even a spoof. It true

Hope you lose it LeBron James.

Y'all say finally like he been in the west the whole time...he made it on his second year in the west

Good for him. Always nice to hear a Cinderella story. Unknown, works hard, bares up under the strain of glass sneakers and makes it big. Congrats man👍👍👍👍👍

What was the point of this?

Yo wth comes up with these things🤣🤣😂😂😂

17 seasons... He's an old fart now...

He’s trash cans

Screw Lebron.. He now includes Politics in the Game..

_MRBIGGZ ShannonSharpe sounds like something RealSkipBayless would say

The fact that this is technically true

About damn time if you ask me. LakeShow

Lebron out here doing things MJ never did. goat

Congrats Lebron, it took you long enough!

halseyandone

Skip Bayless writing Onion headlines now, I see 😁

It's absolutely ridiculous it took him this long. And to think MJ never made it!

Wow not even Jordan has done this

DragonflyJonez

Who cares - overpaid hack

😂

oneunderscore__ Hilarious!!!

WELL DONE, LEBRON finally the man will get to compete in some big games

I just know skip wrote this

cheddarfrank

DreDay___ Was gonna tag u dre but saw you retweeted lol

SUKnives Its_Zota lmfaooooo

*SMH* What a dote.

Wait a minute, this is literally true

PLOTUS_

Why is he considered to be the greatest if he finally made it

That's the spirit! Never give up!!!

lol

WCF Appearances - LeBron James - 1 Michael Jordan - 0

incredible

And people call him the goat smh

This headline is misleading because LeBron James (the basketball player) has won multiple championships. He didn’t reach the western conference championships is because his previous teams were in the eastern conference. Thus, the implication this reflects poorly on him is facile.

Magnificent

Kobe and MJ never reached both Conference Finals 🐐

Jordan never did it.

he’s really good. he had lessons, you can tell.

If he wins the West but not the Championship he will

What are you the onion?

This is what basketball is all about. Keep grinding and one day you'll finally make it 💪

excellent work
