it has to be contextualized if you're being objective. there was a 4 month break in the middle of the season then they came back for like 10 games and then went straight into the playoffs. if the nba had a full offseason and then announced the season was only going to be 10 games instead of 82 and then right into playoffs people wouldn't look at that the same as a regular championship, why is the bubble any different? i don't really care about there not being fans there and that nonsense but the break in the middle of the season and then the short amount of games for teams to get back in a rhythm definitely differentiates it from every other title in nba history.

2022 & 2023 LeBron is like overpowered with skill. His athleticism and speed hasn’t changed much, but he uses it sparingly. When it comes to his midrange, footwork, finishing ability, IQ, and even dunks still, he’s reached a point where he does what he wants. Not only that, he has turned himself into a pure scorer; hence why he’s averaging 30 PPG over his last two seasons. I would put 2022 in the B or A category, even though they missed the playoffs; but 2023 was unquestionably a B-grade season, which is crazy for a 38 year-old.
