Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The article contains biased language that portrays LeBron James as an insurmountable obstacle and uses emotional language such as 'wreaking havoc' and 'demoralizing factor'.

Powell recalled James’ ability to know the Raptors’ playbook as a particularly demoralizing factor in their losses to the Cavs, as James wouldn’t just call out their plays, but every variant, cut, and counter they were about to run. LeBron was wreaking havoc in the Eastern Conference 😭

Remove emotional language and use neutral terms to describe LeBron James' impact on the game.

Sensationalism

The article uses sensationalism by emphasizing the dominance of LeBron James and the impact he had on opposing teams.

LeBron James lorded over the Eastern Conference for nearly a decade, making eight straight Finals from 2011 to 2018 with the Heat and Cavaliers. Powell noted, LeBron’s mind just operated on a 'totally different level' as he’d call out the play and the various audibles for the Cavs to best defend each set.

Provide a more balanced perspective by acknowledging the success of other teams in the Eastern Conference during that time period.

Appeal to authority

The article uses an appeal to authority by referencing Paul George's podcast as a source of information.

On Monday, Paul George and Norman Powell, now teammates on the Clippers, commiserated over their shared experience of getting taken out by LeBron in the playoffs, swapping stories on George’s Podcast P show of how James was just an insurmountable obstacle at that time.

Provide additional sources or evidence to support the claims made by Paul George and Norman Powell.
