IMO, one of the most accurate methods of measuring a player's career success is comparing their le count with their franchise's championship count, along with the amount of times they missed the playoffs vs. their franchise's missed playoff count..
Jordan: 6 championships
Bulls franchise: 6 championships
Duncan: 4 championships
Spurs franchise: 4 championships
Russell: 11 championships
Celtics: 17 championships
Magic: 5 championships
Lakers: 16 championships
Kobe: 5 championships
Lakers: 16 championships
Kareem: 1 championship with the Bucks/5 with LA
Bucks: 1 championship
Lakers: 16 championships
Shaq: 3 with LA/1 with Miami
Lakers: 16 championships
Heat: 2 championships
Hakeem: 2 championships
Rockets: 2 championships
Bird: 3 championships
Celtics: 17 championships
Wilt: 1 championship with Philly
76ers: 3 championships
Lebron: 1 championship with Miami
Heat: 2 championships
Now, the amount of times they have missed the playoffs in or around their primes:
Jordan(excluding the year he missed 80+% of the season): 0
Bulls franchise: 15
Duncan: 0
Spurs franchise: 4
Russell: 0
Celtics franchise: 16
Magic: 0
Lakers franchise: 5
Kobe: 1, possibly 2 this season
Lakers franchise: 5
Kareem: 1, 0 with the Bucks
Lakers franchise: 5
Bucks franchise: 18
Shaq: 0
Lakers franchise: 5
Hakeem: 1
Rockets franchise: 19
Bird: 0
Celtics franchise: 16
Wilt: 0
76ers franchise: 16
Lebron with Cavs/Heat: 0
Cavs/Heat franchises: 24
Interesting numbers, tbh..
