Bill

Jordan

Lebron still playing so that benefits him greatly
 
Peace,

Jordan
Kareem
Wilt
Bill

That’s it so far. LeBron is getting there but cats are prematurely putting him into the discussion.
 
Yeah, you gotta go with the multiple MVP winners and go backward. Kareem - 6; Russ and Jordan - 5; Dip and Lebron - 4. There ya go.
 
Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Lebron

That's it for me. All these guys are transcending players in the modern era of basketball, Kareem and Lebron came into the league with the most anticipation and pressure, and they delivered. I would love to see the list from guys 60 and older.

 
Wilt, Bill, Kareem, Jordan - no question

Lebron probably deserves a seat at the table, but he gotta fight Magic and Bird for it. He might win that fight. To some, he might already have won that fight. He still playing so we'll see. Kobe in the lounge outside the room greeting niggas as they come in...just glad to be in the place. :lol:

:roflmao: I fucks with Kobe. He won me over over the course of his career. An all-time great, no question. But aint no way he's sitting at a table with only 5 seats.
Then it's a two-door, with Kobe and LeBron holding one door each.
Mike
Bill
Kareem
Wilt
Magic
 
These arguments are always dumb. It should be best players ranked by era.

Starting in the 60’s

Bill Russell was the best in the 60’s

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best in the 70’s

Magic Johnson was the best in the 80’s

Michael Jordan was the best in the 90’s

LeBron James is the best in the 00’s

That makes a lot of sense.

Before Lebron won his first Chip he was widely regarded as a player who shrank. He was not considered clutch. Most folks chose Kobe Clutch Bryant because he was considered a proven closer.

Wade gets mad credit for Lebrons 2 Chips with Miami and Kyrie get mad love for contribution plus Draymond suspension as well as Warriors injuries to secure Lebron his Cavs Chips. Still a ring is a ring is a ring. Bron got three shiny ass rings

You aint dominating if you aint winning that ring.

The objective and goal of each team is to win it all, not to take 2nd place in the Finals.

Lebron gets no credit for participating in the NBA Finals. This aint Pee Wee basketball at the local YMCA.

Win or go home - ringless.

Teams have built their squads to accommodate Lebron's skill set. If they don't win then that's on Lebron and his style of play. He chose Bosh and Wade and Love, Tristan and JR. Bron plots his own moves in the NBA so he can't pass the buck.

The Lebron we see today is real real nice but this aint the Lebron of year 3, 6 or 9 of his career. At his best, he is still sharing MVPS and Chips with other players.

Even though he's a honkey, on the court Bird in his prime he was lebron with no hops and a better shot........ He gave all your favorite players 40pts or better on multiple occasions and got rings to show. Even the numbers from each of their first 10 seasons compare almost identically.
