Could it be that Jordan was the first person in history? Durant did not join the Warriors, can James win two more championships?

Basketball

Since leading the Bulls to win two three consecutive championships, Jordan has been recognized as the first in history in the NBA, not only surpassing his previous historical superstars, but also surpassing all superstars after him. Only James has the strength to compete with Jordan, but it is not easy to surpass Jordan.

Although James has played for 22 years, he has been selected as the All-Star and the All-Squad, and has ranked first in history in the regular season and playoffs, all of which have surpassed Jordan, but James is not as good as Jordan in the two major honors of MVP and FMVP, which is also the main reason why many people think he cannot surpass Jordan.

James reached the finals in a total of 10 times in his career, 4 more times than Jordan, but Jordan won the championship and FMVP every time he entered the finals, while James only won four championships and FMVP. If James wants to replace Jordan as the first in history, he must at least tie Jordan in terms of the number of championships.

In fact, James has a chance to tie Jordan with the total championship, provided that Durant did not join the Warriors in the summer of 2016. Although the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the 2015 Finals, it was mainly because Irving and Love were both injured and James could not stand alone. Moreover, in the 2016 Finals, James and Irving led the Cavaliers to complete a major reversal in a desperate situation of falling behind 1-3, winning the first championship in the team history.

It is because the Warriors lost the championship after winning the best record of 73 wins, so they urgently need Durant's joining. After Durant was reversed 1-3 by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, he also needs the championship very much. The two sides hit it off and the famous "Cosmic Brave" was born, which completely lost the suspense of the cavalry battle in the next two years.

Although James has strong dominance and Irving as a helper, Curry and Durant joined forces, they couldn't stand it. They only won one game in 2017 and 2018 finals, and were almost swept for two consecutive years. It is because Durant joined the Warriors that the strength comparison of the Cavaliers' Battle was completely unbalanced, so there is no suspense to the title.

If the Warriors did not win Durant, the Cavaliers had a chance to win the finals in the past two years, so James is likely to win two more championships, so he can tie with Jordan, and maybe he will become the number one person in history. However, Curry will also lose two championships, and Durant will not win two consecutive FMVPs, and may even not have a championship.
