Jordan had the best coach in the league at the time, as well as a really strong cast with Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc, Harper, and his competition was honestly not at the same caliber. And the shit LeBron went through this season to get his team to the Finals is as JVG and Jackson said his greatest achievement.

I can't see LeBron single-handedly beating the Warriors, unfortunately. Cavs might steal one game.

A player in the concussion protocol program can’t return to the floor until the following:
•He is without concussion-related symptoms at rest.
•He has been evaluated by a physician.
•He has successfully completed the NBA return-to-participation exertion protocol.
•A team physician has discussed the return-to-participation process and decision with the Director of the NBA concussion program, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher.
Ultimately, the decision as to when a player will return will be made by the team physician.
From the NBA’s media central website, here’s a closer look at what the NBA’s Return-to-Participation protocol consists of:
1. The return to participation protocol involves several steps of increasing exertion – from a stationary bike, to jogging, to agility work, to non-contact team drills.
2.With each step, a player must be symptom free to move to the next step. If a player is not symptom free after a step, he stops until he is symptom free and begins again at the previous step of the protocol (i.e., the last step he passed without any symptoms).
3.It’s important to note that there is no time frame to complete the protocol. Each injury and player is different and recovery time can vary in each case.

Indeed. I'm bored with the situation and I think it really speaks to the lack of competition right now, especially in the East, but it is what it is. It's up to the rest of the league to knock them out, and although it was a close call this year, it ultimately didn't happen.

Everything needs to be in optimum for other teams to reach the finals. See how small failures in only 1 game each put each team in Finals.
Small fails made this matchup:
The bad coaching decisions by Nate McMillan in 4th quarter of Game 7 when LeBron was AT BENCH
2 buzzer beaters of LeBron James that Raptors failed to avoid in Semi-finals (who could?)
Injury of Chris Paul in Game 5 (effective on rest of series)
The real big 3 of Smart-Rozier-Morris missing consecutive threes (especially the position with 2 clutch off-rebs and 2 bricks) at Game 7 of ECF
The whole Rockets with 27 consecutive brick from 3-point range at Game 7 of WCF
Big troubles caused this too:
Injury of Kawhi Leonard
Injuries of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward
If we go more backwards:
Klay Thompson's insane Game 6 performance vs OKC in 2016
In the end, we can't live with what ifs. The Warriors and Cavaliers are in finals once again, with deserving their spots.
