The Official 5 > 4 Thread

[3ba11]

Since it's official that Lebron will end his career with 4 rings, it's hereby declared that Kobe will forever have more rings than Lebron as an all-timer in the modern era, and is therefore superior at the game of basketball.

TLDR: It's officiel: Kobe > Lebron (5 > 4)

It's great how the modern era allowed a massive amount of parity from 1980-2023, so everyone with a decent number of years had enough suitable casts to get the ring count that their skillset deserves.. Lebron possibly won more by team-hopping, if anything

"Would I rank LeBron over Kobe in terms of best of all time? No. There's something about five that beats three. Now he may be better than that, but Kobe won five championships. LeBron won three."

MJ doesn't think he's the GOAT himself... he'd never try to put himself above Bill Russell or Kareem. Meanwhile Bran has planted people in the media and has begged people to call him the GOAT and no one's buying it.
