Erving and Bird played in the same era. I'd take both over James. So would anyone that watched all of them play.
Baylor and Havlicek. Depends what position you list Oscar Robertson as playing.
There may be more from other eras, but those came immediately to mind and I've got a plate of leftovers waiting for me.

Both are over Lebron, because they had illustrious careers and were considered the best of their time. Lebron has a decent chance surpassing both of them. Baylor? Maybe since he pioneered over-the-rim play. Hondo? Nope. I'd rather have Barry as my franchise player over Hondo.

You wanted me to name multiple SF from the same era that I'd take over James. Did just that. Sorry it didn't make you happy.
Oh yeah, missed Barry. Thanks for the reminder. I'd take him as well.
Despite a selfish reputation, managed to elevate teammates and win championships.
Why is James the only guy immune from the "didn't win championships" argument? Hell, Wilt won two and it's used to bash him.

No. In fact he is bashed, insulted for not winning a title.
There's nothing to discuss with you anymore. I'm out.

Re: ISH All time top 25 Forwards voting. #10. John Havlicek vs Lebron James.
LeBron James.
I scoff at any other notion. Hondo came into the league and joined a team with 5 other HOFers. They won titles in a league that had NINE TEAMS. That team would have won titles with me instead of Hondo.
He came off the bench for a long period. You are seriously taking a 6th man over the best player in the league?
What did Hondo ever lead the league in? NOTHING. NOT EVEN CLOSE. EVER (Minutes a few times).
I join the legions that question how Hondo could have possibly beat Dirk.

John Havlicek.
Until lebron shows me that he can lead/co-lead a team to a championship, i cannot rank him over hondo.

Laughable to place Hondo's team accomplishments on a dominant Celtics team pre-merger as what makes him a greater player than LeBron.
I guess you forgot who Lebron is currently playing with?
Hondo FTW.

Because it's leBron, if he doesnt have it then it's not legit. Haven't you heard. LBJ can go down as the PER king tho.....thats good enough for his fans i suppose.

LeBron just need at least 1 Finals MVP. He's going to surpass Hondo. Same with Wade who needs at least 1 regular season MVP.
