PS: Simmons doesn't know how many titles Kareem and MVP's Kareem has won.

Stopped reading after he said Wilt played against a bunch of scrawny white guys. Simmons obviously knows his ball and isn't scared of telling the truth.

Bill, GTFO. You're not welcome in the LeBron/3 FMVP/top 2 all time fam after basically accusing him of juicing last year. You're right to concede he's eclipsed KAJ, Magic and Bird but you can kick rocks.

Let's not turn this into a Wilt thread again.

Wilt played against scrawny white guys. Anything before the 70s don't warrant any praise.

1a/1b MJ/Lebron

Wilt would do OK in today's league if the rest of the NBA consisted only of Jimmer Fredettes, Kirk Hinriches, and Steve Blakes

Kareem is #1 so LeBreezy is not ahead of him

He is certainlt up there.

Simmons dude writes a book about basketball, ranking NBA player and does not know how many rings and MVP's Cap had.

UCLA Jabbar who played in the 60's would dominate the NBA today.

Well let's see ... more individually dominant on both sides of the ball or at the very least equal to anyone not named Jordan. Won only less to MJ, and Kareem of guys on his level of dominance individually. So, yes. Top 3 sounds very accurate. The Finals he's just had, and the team he overcame was just so impressive.

Kareem, Wilt?

Ok. How is Lebron ahead of Kareem?

8-10.

Reading comprwhension, much? That's why I said you 3. Not over Kareem. Yet at least. Still has ways to go.

A number of Kareem's rings came as sidekick.

He's already got one more ring than Wilt while being comparatively individually dominant of his era.

Wilt played with what would be tantamount in comparison to LeBron, in today's league? Harden (West) and Durant (Baylor) ... yet James has already surpassed him in rings. Wilt was a loser who under performed in the playoffs and Finals compared to his regular seasons.

nope.....LBJ needs to 3 peat before he gets there
