Today, the media ClutchPoints showed pictures showing changes in the eastern region.

"From 2011 to 2018, for eight consecutive seasons, the Eastern Conference belonged to one person: LeBron James. He is undoubtedly the goalkeeper to the NBA Finals, and he can enter the Finals every year no matter which team's jersey they wear. Think of those legendary careers, Hall of Fame and superstar seasons... Too many people missed the Finals because of his existence.

"However, after LeBron's reign, a new era began.

- 2019: Leonard leads the Raptors to win the championship historic.

- 2020: Butler brought the Heat into the finals within the park with his efforts and hard work.

- 2021: Antetokounmpo brings the Bucks its first championship in nearly 50 years.

- 2022: Tatum stepped forward and led the Celtics back to the finals.

- 2023: Jimmy Butler once again proves his strength.

- 2024: Tatum once again proves that he is not a flash in the pan.

- 2025: Teres Halliburton leads the Pacers to make their mark, proving that the Eastern Throne has never been truly stable.

"The kingship has become a situation of free competition. Looking back and looking at the unpredictability of the Eastern Conference over the years, LeBron's achievements in entering the NBA Finals for eight consecutive years are still incredible. Cherish this history... because we may never see such a miracle again," ClutchPoints wrote.
