LeBron James has played his entire career in the Eastern Conference and he's against the NBA changing the format of the playoffs to seed teams 1-16 instead of by conference.

The Eastern Conference has been a weaker conference for years.

"I would disagree with that," James said. "I think our league has been built the right way as far as when it comes to the postseason."

James has reached The Finals every year since 2011.

"There's been dominant conferences throughout time," James said. "In the '80s you had the Lakers who dominated the league at one point, then you had Boston that dominated the league. In the '90s you had Chicago that dominated the league. San Antonio also had its run. We had our run in the East with Miami, Golden State is having their run.

"It just changes the landscape of the history of the game. If you start messing with seedings and playoffs and then you start talking about, 'Well, if this team would have played this Western Conference team, what....' It's cool to mess around with the All-Star Game, we proved you can do that, but let's not get too crazy about the playoffs. You have Eastern Conference and you have Western Conference. You have Eastern Conference champions, you have guys from the Eastern Conference that win the big dance and sometimes you have it from the West as well."
