    Exactly ...

    And the other dirty secret is that 2 of LBJ's 3 titles required all the bounces in the world going in his favor

    If he had 1 title instead of 3 there's ZERO discussion of him being anywhere near Jordan ok the all time list

    He got some lucky bounces, but he's earned his three rings.

    They just aren't enough.

    At the highest levels how you win your titles is a factor ...

    We don't have to have this discussion in hockey.

    1. Gretzky
    2. Everybody else

    Stop with the AuburnDawg nonsense. Ravenna wants to give him another ring in 2015 because Kyrie and Love were hurt, you want to take two rings away from him.

    As Boobs said, he's earned three. He's a three time Finals MVP and honestly should be four time (he was the MVP in 2015 too). Only MJ has more. Magic and Shaq also have three. (Yes Russell would have more if it was around in his era.)

    He's a four time NBA MVP.

    Only MJ, Kareem, and Russell have more MVP awards.

    Only Russell and his teammates been to more consecutive NBA Finals and they played in an era with less than half the teams there are now .

    He's the best two way regular season player of all time, and the best playoff player of all time for the first 47 minutes.

    That last minute keeps him from the top, but puts him above everyone else IMO.

    Sincerely,

    Lifelong LeBron Hater.

    I may have said Lebron is better than Jordan - I say a lot of shit. But he isn't and he never really was that close. Is he #2? Who knows, he is in the top 5 discussion, its been a blast the last 7 years, and we won't see this again for a while. It was about 10 years between Jordan's last finals and Lebron's first.

    My man Dr J says the 83 Sixers are the best single season team and LBJ is the best player he has ever seen.

    That's called being in the discussion.
