Lebron will never catch Kobe and Jordan in ring count.

[Nowitness]

But Colby will never catch Horry.

Still, LeBron has won more as the best player (2) than Kobe (1).

kobe is irrelevant to this discussion, its like hating on lebron for not matching horry's ring count

[LBJ4MVP23]

MAybe he can wait for a top 10 center to be drafted and get carried to 3 rings. Then he would be tied with kobe.

No, Kobe was FMVP for two rings and clear second option for the three other ones

[ArbitraryWater]

Probably not, but even 3 Rings + 3 FMVPS evens him with Kobe IMO

evens him in what?

All time ranking? No shit... he's by Kobe already.

[knicksman]

Not sure if serious

2 is better than 1.

[dubeta]

what stops lebron from riding on the bench for rings in his late 30's being carried by prime kyrie and wiggins?

he could end up with 4 FMVP's and 6-7 rings

[SouBeachTalents]

2 is better than 1.

So are Parker/Ginobili & Dumars/Laimbeer > Shaq as well?

[knicksman]

if wilt end up with only 1 ring as the man. Lebron will have 0. Ringchasers rings dont count

[J Shuttlesworth]

2 is better than 1.

What if that one guy outscores and out-rebounds those 2 guys combined in the playoffs?

[knicksman]

is 1 of them even better than bosh?

[ZHAKIDD532]

If he spends 8 years in Cleveland, you can't see a scenario in which he wins three. I sure can.

Imagine Wiggins turns out to be what everyone thinks he is. Even as LeBron ages, he's going to have the chance to pick up rings with that guy.

well that means youre playing selfish ball. Thats why they were never successful. Boston trio is not as talented as heat trio but they were dominant and you know why, they all play unselfishly.

[Roundball_Rock]

Eh, I'd say 4 rings, 3-4 FMVP's, 5 MVP's is where he'll finish

I think he very likely will win the MVP next year. That would have him at 5 at age 30 and he likely would win 1 or 2 more. If he does not win next year then I see him at 5-6 MVP's since players are much less likely to win MVP's after age 30 (MJ, KAJ, Malone did it, though).

Wow, never thought I'd hear that from a Bulls fan. No bias from you

Well, I am not a MJ lover but that resume speaks for itself. A player with 4-5 rings and 6-7 MVP's automatically becomes a GOAT candidate and only biased people will claim that resume would have no case as GOAT. That would add LeBron to MJ, KAJ, Wilt, Russell in the strong GOAT candidate group.

That is a great point. LeBron could be winning rings into his late 30's like KAJ and Duncan. He could even finish with not 1, not 2, not 3...

Fact? If they get Love and/or Wiggins turns into what he's expected to be, which is now even more likely and most likely sooner under Lebron's wing, and everyone is healthy then Lebron clearly has enough help to do it, especially if the East stays relatively weak. Maybe it's not likely just cause winning that many rings is very difficult regardless of circumstance but it's not fact.
