. Jordan is still #1, Magic #2, Kareem #3, but LeBron probably deserves #4. I love Kobe and Wilt was amazing, so was Russell, Bird, Shaq, Duncan, etc. but LeBron alone can improve a team by 20 games. 8 straight Finals with 3 Championships, and his overall Stats are super impressive.Posted: Mon May 28, 2018 7:07 amPosted: Mon May 28, 2018 10:42 amlakerevolution wrote:We really have to thank LeBron this year. He played all 48 minutes to close out the ECF and eliminate the Chowds.
"Forty, 41, 42," James answered. "In regular-season pace, I can give you all 48. I play extremely hard throughout the postseason, and I'd be cheating my team if I said I could go out and play 48 minutes. I think that's impossible."
James proved it was possible, at least in the conference finals. To top it off, James was playing on a sore right leg after Larry Nance Jr. fell into him in Game 6. He was still receiving treatment on the leg in his hotel room on Saturday night, a team source told ESPN.

Yeah when I look at resume's of these 5 guys they are all great:
Jordan = 6 Championships, 5 League MVP's, 6 Finals MVP's, 10 Time Scoring Champ, 9 Time 1st Team Defense - Cant really top that. 6-0 in the Finals.
Kareem = 6 Championships, 10 Finals Appearances, 6 League MVP's, 2 Finals MVP's, NBA All-Time Leading Scorer. 6-4 in the Finals.
Magic = 5 Championships, 9 Finals Appearances, 3 League MVP's, 3 Finals MVP's, won Finals MVP as a Rookie when Kareem couldn't play, and is the All-Time leader in NBA history in Assist average with 11.2 a season. 5-4 in the Finals.
Kobe = 5 Championships, 7 Finals Appearances, 1 League MVP, 2 Finals MVP's, 9 Time 1st Team Defense, 81 Point game = 2nd highest of all-time. 5-2 In the Finals.
LeBron = 3 Championships, 9 Finals Appearances, 4 League MVP's, 3 Finals MVP's, just made his 8th straight Finals in a row!, 5 Time 1st Team Defense. Only thing is, he is 3-5 in the Finals. Looking at maybe 3-6!
So where does LeBron stack up against these guys realistically?

Nope. Too soon to judge; forever now and never ending debate, right now? He's
just 33-year-old- that good of a player> that good as we speak in this league's era/season. However, God, last night's game and yesterdays game makes me really miss post-up basketball. The Cavs/Celtics were 16/74 from 3's and tonight, the teams are a combined 12/44 so far. I'm getting real tired of guys dribbling around for the whole shot and then jacking up step back 3's. I miss you Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Tim Duncan. I'm still a Laker die hard fan !!! I look seeing some of you in LA next season, Rev... KobeMVP up for that offer?
