Sure, but championships matter. In the '10s the East and West split evenly the championships. Sure you can say it was Lebron going to the finals every single year, but it's not like Boston in '11 and the Pacers in '12-'13 were bad. You could turn around and point at the Lakers and Spurs who won all the West championships in the '00s. In fact, if Boston hadn't been robbed of that game 6 against Miami (flagrant foul against Rondo was a no-call) they probably would have beaten that dysfunctional Thunder team.

@@1vaultdweller They shortened the 3 pt. line hoping it would create more offense. That's what the league has been trying to promote for a long time now, to its detriment imo. But you act as if the game was in a bad place. In fact it was booming like never before in the 90's and grown into a global sport. Magic & Larry saved the league from bankruptcy and then Mike blew the lid off. And oh btw they moved the line back the next season as it proved to be a failed experiment. The 2nd half of the decade the talent did dilute, and then got worse in the 2000's. Now that was a weak era. The OG's from the 80's and 90's left and imaginative basketball went with them. And devolved into iso "hero ball" by a new generation of athlete, like AI. The same type of ball they played in the 70's when the league was dying. The best era was 80-93, after the Dream Team and MJ's first 3peat. And the EC was clearly better, deeper, and were dominating the rings for a reason. 1st team selections is a very myopic criteria to judge by. It was obvious to anyone alive to see it for themselves what the better Conference was.

And if a guy like Ben Simmons, Giannis, Michael Porter, Markelle Fultz, etc becomes the next dominant player everyone avoids ends up in the east will get even worst.

When I was an exchange student in the US I prefer the west coast compared to the east coast, of course my comparison was Auburn vs Santa Barbara but in general west coast seems more lively and dynamic with more diverse group of people whereas East coast just seems so industrious, if we use it as reference more eastern executive just use hype as the guide to scout whereas in the west, they find the one who is a right fit for the organization which eventually draw top free agents. And for the players, the environment in the west coast I describe would be more preferable as these guys are millionaires and would wanna spend their money

Texas and California are multi-team states. These teams compete harder as they try to become the state’s favorite team. 3.) The West covers a HUGE portion of America. The East, besides Chicago, is confined to America’s East Coast. 4.) East vs West was just a bad idea to begin with although NFC vs AFC isnt working to well for the NFL either.

I’ve also watched docs where NBA players, former and current, explained that the owners in the West treat players better and run their organizations better. And oh yeah, the weather plays a huge factor as well. Warm weather year round in the West? Or cold winters smaller cities in the East? Players always choose the West. Sucks because I live in the East so I understand the aggravations of watching the West win every year. And with the West still loaded? You probably should do another video soon doesn’t look like a change is coming anytime soon🤷🏾♂️😂😂

West has 15 chips since 1999 and only two went 7 games. Numerous sweeps and gentlemen sweeps as well. Head to head the West has been dominant and has won every year except one (21 of the last 22 years). First team all NBA selections also go to the West and so do MVPs. Didn’t the West have a 50 win team be an eighth seed with the Nuggets, crazy. The West has been the dominant conference, the East this coming year is probably going to be the best that I have seen in a long time so they might catch up in a couple of years. But since 1999, the West.

Basically, it all boils down to the big man and style of play. Going back before the league was dominated by point guards, it was a big mans game. The west had all the big men while the east had all the guards(look at 2001 NBA Allstar game for reference). It's easier to build a contending team around a big than a guard. As far as style of play, the west was historically a "run and gun", finesse, offensive type of style, while the east was rugged, hard nose, defensive minded. Because of this, teams from both conferences reflected that. Eastern teams felt if they had a guard and defense, they had a shot. But once that guard gets hurt or leaves, the team suffers. A great example of this is the 2001 NBA Finals. The Lakers had not only Kobe but Shaq and a great team around him. The East had AI and that's it. It's been like that ever since. Nowadays, the west with an already better team are adding one or two superstars from the east, not only making them seem impossible to beat, but they're killing a conference in doing so. The remaining superstars left in the east feel either A: join a loaded team or B: team up with other superstars and create one.

jipeon All I want to say is that you are correct. In the 90's, the conferences were different in those terms..West: Offensive minded, run-n-gun, 100-120 points games, track meet style, hardly any defense. East: Defensive minded, slow tempo, Under 100-80 point games..sometimes 80-60, use all 24 sec to get a shot off plus make em play 24 sec of defense.

Fast forward to 2023 the wet western conference is inferior, it is ludicrous that the nuggets only needed to finish 53-29 to get home court advantage throughout the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. The Suns only needed an abysmal 45-37 record just to be a top 4 seed.

To be fair, historically the East has always been the stronger conference. The 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s was all Eastern, they were the stronger side with the better teams and stronger fan base. Then from 1999 till now, the West just started to take over, the Lakers dynasty, the Spurs dynasty and the Warriors Dynasty was all in the West. This was all following the rise of the Internet, basketball in Europe, the digital age in general, so as more global eyes were on the product, the West capitalised on that perfectly, they had 2 dynasties in the early 00s vying for donation of the league, that made for exciting TV. Then you had the Warriors Dub City dynasty. You couple all that up with smart phones and social media, made it so the West just became more commercially viable.

Let's be real...When was the last time the West was truly impressive? Outside of the Warriors, we've had an aging Spurs team, 2 teams known for choking (Clippers and Rockets) and some relatively weak teams like the Jazz and Blazers. I'm tired of this "East is weak" talk. How about the whole NBA has been weak outside of 2 teams? Hopefully the Thunder, Rockets and Celtics made the moves to make things better, but somehow I doubt it.

Not really chocking, the Clippers and OKC had the talent to win it all, but injuries played a huge part. In the last 5 years, Spurs, OKC, Clippers, etc.. They were all considered contenders. The Warriors took over the league and the Spurs somehow remained relevant. Compared to the east, even the pitiful hawks managed to have a decent record, even the celtics last season had the best record.. And both teams are pathetic, a healthy clippers could easily defeat them, imagine GSW and Spurs? Imagine the Hawks facing a healthy OKC? That's the key point here, even the strongest eastern team can't win agains the third best team in the west. Even LeBron with his cowardice, seeking shortcuts and etc.. Even his superficial teams were not capable to beat the west.

The whole chocking concept proves how strong the west is. If you put the clippers and rockets in the east they'll dominate it automatically. That's just how bad the east is. The Jazz and Blazers are relatively weak if compared to the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets but they're not weak teams. They have a solid systematic culture in place. The same can't be said of a Charlotte or a Philly, or a Knicks, or a Nets, and even Milawaukee

Finally someone agrees with me. I would actually argue the East has been weaker than the West since the 80's. Going back to 79, the East usually has one team that is a legit title contender, sometimes 2, while the West consistently has had 3-4 teams that could win the championship every year (Just think about the late 80's to early 90's, Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Suns, Sonics, Jazz...the competition was insane). Since 1998, the east has only posted a winning record against the west twice. (I can't find stats before 1998) When listing the franchises with the best record since their inception, the East only posted 3 teams (Celtics-#3, Bulls-#8 and Heat#10)
