I am getting tired of arguments saying we should not compare Lebron with MJ because they play two different positions, they have different styles of play, etc. So for the purpose of GOAT debates, who should we compare him to?

Since he plays small forward, maybe he should be compared to Larry Bird, Dr. J or Jerry West? Or since he is more of a point forward, we should compare him to Magic Johnson, who is a great passer considering he plays point guard despite his height being that of a forward/center?

Led the big three to three straight finals appearance and two consecutive championship. Outcoached Greg Popovich, pushed the right buttons (by pushing the right buttons, i mean knowing when to sit his stars and let role players play), managed the ego of three superstars, etc.

Lakers will have the stretch 4 they sorely need to keep Howard, Heat add a good inside presence. Any thoughts?

will it be considered that Kobe won a 6th ring, even if he was injured during the time?

BQ: How would this compare to Jordan's 6 rings? And in case the Lakers win again next year, will people consider him better than Jordan because he has 7 rings?

or if he gets injured bigtime, will LeBron James sign up with the Lakers? or any rising power in the NBA. Any thoughts.

When he was with dallas, they failed to win a championship. when he left, they won.

WHen he was with the heat, they also failed to win the championship. he left, and they won.

How unlucky is that?

any thoughts

Will he be the greatest player who won his first championship on a second team?

Others who did it are:

Clyde Drexler: first team is the portland trailblazers. Won it with the rockets.

Shaquille O'neal: first team is Orlando Magic. Won it with the Los Angeles Lakers

Kevin Garnett: first team is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Won it with the Boston Celtics.

Ray Allen: First teams were the Sonics and Bucks. Won it with the Boston Celtics.

Gary Payton: First team was Seatlle Supersonics. Won it with the Miami Heat.

One of the greatest ever, and if the nba will change its logo, Lebron would be one of the few players who deserves to be in the replacement.

however, just like Jerry West, he is going down to win just one ring, two if he gets lucky.

Lebron: two trips to the finals, no ring

Dirk: two trips to the finals, one ring

BATTLE OF THE CHOKERS!!!

10 pts 13 assists 5 rebounds as of the moment

he already have 8

LINSANITY!!!

any thoughts

for former all stars like tim duncan, pau gasol and kevin garnett

Robert Horry has 7 rings with 3 different teams (Rockets, Lakers, Spurs) while Lebron would probably win a ring or so with only one team (Heat).

Plus Horry has more exciting 4th quarters than lebron.

For guys who didn't make it to the all stars but are playing like one like Rudy Gay, Josh Smith, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap, Monta Ellis or even for former all-stars Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol.
