LBJ has to get atleast 3 Rings before he can be considered Top 6.
Bird has 3 Rings in a "superstars" INFESTED 1980s era.
LBJ is playing in "superstars" DEPLETED 2010 era. He has to get atleast 3.
Infact, LBJs 3 rings will only guarantee him Top 10 GOATs.
3+ rings by LBJ will Knock SHAQ out.
So what? LeBron has 4 MVPs to Kobe's 1.
LeBron has 4 MVPs to Duncan's 2.
LeBron is already top 2 all time in terms of impact. If you're including rings/awards and all that, then he's already top 7-8.
Bird would have zero rings and zero MVPs playing in a league with LeBron. If LeBron played with McHale/Parish, DJ, and had a stacked bench from day one, he'd have more than 3 rings by now.
3 rings from LeBron and it's case closed. He officially becomes #2 all time and only Jordan remains ahead.
This overrating of past players is pure comedy. Magic, Bird, Russell, Wilt - none of these guys could sniff LeBron's jockstrap right now. They all had weaknesses. None of them had ZERO flaws in their games. That is LeBron.
You do know LBJ cannot "SUSTAIN" this for 80 games! you realize that.
1985 Bird: 28.7 ppg / 10.5 rpg / 6.6 apg for 80 games
1988 Bird: 30 ppg / 9.3 rpg / for 76 games
1987 Bird: 28.1 ppg / 9.2 rpg / 7.6 apg for 74 games
LBJ never came close to Bird's level even now.
If Bird had mchale + Parish. LBJ has Wade + Bosh. so no argument there.
Nice job ignoring stat inflation. The teams in the 80s played at a much higher pace than today and as a result had inflated ppg, apg, rpg and their fg% was higher. Lebron is averaging 27-8-7 right now on 56%. If he played in the 80s he would have had 29-9-8 this season or maybe even 29-10-8.5 or something like that.

stat inflation Mathaaa fakaaa!
What rat hole did you crawl out from.
I mentioned "SUPERSTAR INFESTED" era for a reason.
Knicks had Ewing.
Hawks had 'Nique.
Bulls had MJ.
Philly had Sir Charles.
LAL had Magic
IND had Miller
etc etc etc.
Every team had terific trio. Even CAVS had Nance-Daugherty-Price. HAWKS had Rivers-Willis-Nique.
Every team was built to make it to playoffs in EC.
BIRD still put 5-6 seasons of 28-30 ppg DOUBLE DOUBLE.
LBJ is playing in weakest superstars DEPLETED league in weak EC & still cannot get to 10 RPG or 10 APG
If anything, LBJs stats are INFLATED because they are not challenged by SUPERSTAR every night.
Re: I hate Lebron James
Kobe's not Top 5. He's around Top 12-13.
