James has won the Eastern Conference Championship for 8 consecutive years! In the past seven years, no team in the East has been able to enter the finals.

The semi-finals of this season have all ended. The Knicks eliminated the defending champion with a big score of 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. They will face the Pacers. The winner between the two teams will become the Eastern Conference champion and reach the finals to compete for the championship. In the semi-finals last season, the two teams had already fought once. The Knicks lost to the Pacers in the tiebreak battle and missed the Eastern Conference Final.

Because the Knicks and the Pacers met in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the defending champion Celtics were eliminated early in the semi-finals and missed the Eastern Conference Finals, new Eastern Conference champions will be produced this season whether the Knicks and the Pacers won the Eastern Conference Finals. After James left the East, he has produced 4 different Eastern Conference champion teams, namely the Raptors, Heat (two times), the Bucks and the Celtics (two times).

From 2011 to 2018, James led the team to the Eastern Conference Championship for 8 consecutive years and reached the finals. He also changed teams in the middle. 2 first led the Heat to win the Eastern Conference Championship for four consecutive years, returned to the Cavaliers in the summer of 2014, and won the Eastern Conference Championship for four consecutive years. However, since James left the East, no Eastern team has been able to enter the Finals for two consecutive years. This shows how amazing it is to James to reach the Finals for eight consecutive years.

It is worth mentioning that although the Heat and the Celtics have become Eastern Conference champions twice in the past seven years and reached the finals, neither of them has been able to do this continuously. However, they are both regular visitors to the Eastern Conference Finals and have met three times in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics even reached the Eastern Conference Finals four times in five years, lost to the Heat twice, and also beat the Heat and Pacers once respectively.

The Heat and the Celtics have performed well enough in the playoffs in the past few years, and are the only two teams that have reached the Finals many times in the past five years. However, their dominance is far less than James before, and they cannot reach the finals in a row. Although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference team is indeed not as good as that of the Western Conference, and it is not as difficult as that of the Western Conference in the Eastern Conference, except for the team where James is, no other team can reach the finals in a row, which shows that James' dominance is indeed extraordinary.

Celtics not only missed the title this season, but Tatum also suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon, and coupled with an explosive salary, it is likely to disintegrate this summer. In this way, another dominant team will be missing in the East, and other teams will be even less dominant, and the future playoff situation in the East will be even more chaotic.
