it's official, lebron is already a top 3 player of all time.

[Westbrook0]

Top 5 is whatever, that's for discussion. But top 3 is not even in the cards yet for Bron.


One highly impressive series doesn't just launch you into that company. Come on now

Uh, yes it does.

A ring and a Finals MVP can absolutely move people up on the all-time list.

Take into consideration he's doing it with his bench as his starters, against one of the best teams in a while, and it means even more.

[DFish24]

He will have a case for Top 5 if the Cavs win, but I don't think he has any case for the Top 3.

[DMV2]

This 67 win team is also inexperienced and there were plenty of us saying that they WOULDNT be surprised if the Cavs pulled this off. So let's not act like its some insanely impossible feat.

After 3 great playoffs in 2013 and 2014, to getting 67 wins, sweeping in the 1st Round, coming back from a 2-1 in the 2nd Round, and easily dispatching the Rockets.....INEXPERIENCE is no longer an excuse.

If the Cavs win only MJ, RUSSELL , and Kareem would be over Lebron..

Excuse my d*ck dude. NBA finals are A LOT different than any other round and you should know that.


You know who looked impressive until they hit the finals? Remember the thunder in 2012? I said the same shit back then that some here said this year. Lebron has a way of feasting on younger talent more than he does against vets. Example: Dallas in the finals and Spurs. Teams with savvy older veterans.


Now at the end of the day it is what it is. Warriors SHOULD be winning due to their talent. It's a combination of choking and the Cavs socking it to them. But let's not sit here and say that Lebron doesn't know how to get it done now compared to his first time really competing with a team (the Heat in 2011?) where he didn't know how to get it done. You can see he's going for it out there like he understands because he does.

Does that mean Kobe is inexperienced too?

After all, Kobe always shits the bed in the Finals.

For a minute I was going to argue with you, but then you said this. Consideration for top 5 thats pretty reasonable at this stage.

By the end of his career I think he will be pushing for 2 or 3 though.

[AMERVET]

Wherever Lebron goes, winning follows. I am a Pels fan and would like to see AD eclipse Bron one day but to not call him top 5 especially seeing how he transformed 2 franchises(built cleveland twice) is head scratching to me. He's not Jordan but this guy is definitely more impactful than many in the top 20. The man is really amazing

[SexSymbol]

Both.

Do you see Dellevadova and Mozgov on the floor for those loose balls?

Do you see JR Smith and Tristan Thompson hustling back to block shots and get steals?

It's because of LeBron's leadership, attitude and motivation.

Meanwhile what is Curry the "MVP" doing? Pouting like a little baby and letting his teammates down.

Wait what? Why isn't it because of Delly's, Mozgov's motivation ant attitude or Tristan's and JR's motivation or attitute or hustle?
What in the world, you'll give LeBron credit for anything now

[SexSymbol]

If the Cavs win only MJ, RUSSELL , and Kareem would be over Lebron..

Also Magic, Kobe, Duncan, Shaq. He definitely moves up over Hakeem.

A guy who spent the first 8 years of his career doesn't even belong in the conversation of the all-time goats.

[Castor Troy]

I know on here I am a nobody, but god damn LeBron is making me a believer. I wanted Warriors to win, but now I'm not so sure.

I am now part of the LeBron family

[cltcfn2924]

You gonna argue Lebron over Jordan, Russell and Kareem? You serious dude?

We are talking career now. That's how rankings are done.


You forget the first half of his career?



This 67 win team is also inexperienced and there were plenty of us saying that they WOULDNT be surprised if the Cavs pulled this off. So let's not act like its some insanely impossible feat.


Again it's IMPRESSIVE but collectively spanning his career he HAS HAD straight up chokes and no shows in his performances bro.

How the heck do you leave Magic out????

[cltcfn2924]

If the Cavs win only MJ, RUSSELL , and Kareem would be over Lebron..

Stop leaving Magic out. Kareem is a career loser with out him for God sakes.
A losing stat padder.
