Re: If Lebron continues to play at this level
outside of his 2009 playoff run where the cavs lost to the magic, I don't see how Lebron is superior.

Re: If Lebron continues to play at this level
Whether I like it or not, LeBron has now gained confidence in his game in the Finals. Its actually really scary when you think about it. I always knew he could do it, I knew he could of done it with us, but he lacked confidence and now he has it.

It's posts like this that show the forum how little basketball knowledge you possess.
Unless Lebron wins a couple more championships its out of the question. Bird saved the NBA, Lebron made it into this big whore-fest for titles.

LeBron at best is top15. Unless he really dominates the next 6-7 years he is not moving up on that list. Hes had one decent season and a ton of embarassing letdowns and chokejobs. Better than Bird?
Only Kobe fans here think Lebron is just "top 15"

only lebron stans think lebron is top 10, top 5, or GOAT right now.
They always act like he is barely top 15. Lebron is one ring or MVP away from knocking someone out of the top 10.

Re: If Lebron continues to play at this level
I'm not sure about all these rankings and whatnot, particularly in terms of who James will or will not be supplanting if he plays a certain way until he's 31, but it's clear to me he's an all-time great. I've felt that way for a long, long time. I think this is an easier conclusion for me to make since I do not allow team success to play very heavily in the rating of an individual player's skill. James has been the most effective, unique and excellent player I've witnessed in my adult life and while I'm not interested in stating whether he's better than Bird or worse than Magic, I'll just say I feel he's among them. He fits right in with the greatest players of all-time.

Good college starter
Re: If Lebron continues to play at this level
I don't even think he's top 15 lol.
Top 5 as a talent , but when people start saying he's a ring away from knocking Hakeem out of the top 10 all I can do is cringe.Far less MVP, of all the piece of shit awards in the world....MVP.
MVP as an award disgusts me.
Shaq has one , Kobe has one Hakeem has one.
DERRICK ROSE has 1.
STEVE NASH has 2.
KARL MALONE competing with JORDAN has 2,

LeBron simply isnt as good as Bird was. Bird was a better shooter, scorer, passer, rebounder, and leader.

There's not really anything that Lebron could do "significantly better" than Bird though.

That's not true.
