    Default If LeBron doesn't win another ring...

    How can people justify putting him in the top 10 players of all time?

    One of his rings came in a lockout season, and the other is Ray Allen's ring. Then you have all the subsequent failures that will occur in years to come, along with 2007, 2010, 2011...

    When it's all said and done, LeBron will be ranked right next to Dirk. @ all this GOAT jargon that is tossed around on this forum,.

    Wilt Chamberlain and Hakeem Olajuwon are usually always on arbitrary Top 10 all-time lists, especially Wilt. They both have the exact number of rings and LeBron James.

    Besides, it's all subjective. Justification of somebody's personal Top 10 is all under their criteria, not a singular way of thinking.

    I don't take rings into consideration when I'm trying to come up with my top 10 lists. It's a team victory. Dirk has one and Barkley and Malone don't. There's no way in hell I'm gonna have Dirk ranked higher than them.

    Not that I'm saying Dirk is over them, but give reasons as to why.

    Every player plays to win. Which is why everyone in Majority ppls top 10 has won titles and Finals MVPs.

    Jordan
    Kobe
    Wilt
    Kareem
    Magic
    Bird
    Russell
    Shaq
    Duncan

    And who ever else you wanna add (this is generally the 9 players in ppls top 10, just with different orders)


    So we don't believe in your shit bro...

    How can people justify putting Kobe in the top 10 players of all time?

    His first three rings were gifted by Shaq, the fourth was because KG, Yao Ming and Tmac were injured, and the final one is Gasol and Artest's ring for bailing his 6-24 ass out. Then you have all the subsequent failures that will come in years to come, along with 2004, 2008, 2011..

    When it's all said and done, Kobe will be ranked right next to Dirk. @ all this GOAT jargon that is tossed around on this forum,.

    Well he's going to be way up there in the scoring list once he is finished, is probably going to be #1 in both All Star appearances and All NBA First teams, that coupled with his already great resume[MVPs and Championships]should put him in the top 10 comfortably.
    Only reason I don't rank him in the top 10 already is that he hasn't done the things I project he'll do eventually.
    I'm more comfortable with having Kobe and Duncan in my top 10 despite still playing, because their career seems to be finished or the most of it and their legacy is more or less cemented as for Lebron we don't know yet if he'll stay at 10 or move to top 5.

    To correct OP. Lebron is a boderline Top 15 player of all time. Behind the likes of Oscar Robertson, Dr. J, The Logo, Shaq...etc

    His rings pretty much weight less than thin air.....You can only rank him based on his MVP's.

    It doesn't matter how many times you post that picture, it's never going to be funny to anyone other than other Kobe fanboys.

    Thanks for your opinion. For a second there I got the feeling you were supposed to laugh. Then I remembered, 2012 Thunder > 2010 Celtics - now that makes me laugh.

    Impact on the game and stats. That's really it right there. I use the eyeball test more than anything. I also take into consideration who they went up against. The downside on that though, is that I don't have a real appreciation of the players before my time. I mean, I don't think Bill Russell is better than Wilt. Not a better player. Just was part of better teams.

    LeBron is already in the top 10. I've got him at 10. Until someone passes him up, he's already there. I honestly see him ending up top 5 and I hate it, but gotta respect greatness.

    It's not for anybody else to believe in killa. I view basketball differently than you do I assume. I look at it more from a coach's perspective and not so much as a fan of a player.
