Barkley: "Not ready to go there yet, but by the time Lebron retires ...

[DAF86]

I don't know about Jordan but with two rings (and finals MVP's) his accomplishments can already be considered better than Kobe's.

[LkrFan]

respect your opinion brah but with that Bron has done it pretty much by himself ...jordan didn't win jack until pip and phil got to chi-town and there was never the type of scrutiny by the media or fans there is today...people forget that Bron has being doing this with guys like boobie gibson and mario chalmers while jordan had steve kerr and john paxson...not to mention jordan did this with one of the all time best coaches and another great in doug collins...lebron has been doing this with guys named silas, brown, and spoelstra

Wade and Bosh on the...but he doing it by himself? GTFO with that bull .

Oh and for s and giggles: weedhead says Doug Collins was a great coach!

That dude in your avatar. Despite having the best C/PF combo in the league to anchor the paint, why did your Spurs go out and get Bruce Lee Bowen? You don't have to answer that - publicly. PM me dawg.

duh perimeter defense...one kidney elliott would no longer be able to play that role so they needed someone to who could defend the perimeter...there's always been a lot of great perimeter players in the league

thinking that bowen was signed only to stop kobe

Before Bosh and before Wade, who else could Lebron count on? 50 year old Shaq? Carlos Boozer?

Kobe has always been surrounded by big talent and the one time he wasn't he sucked dirty ass.

Doug Collins is a great coach. How many coaches can you name that have been to the playoffs 7 out of his 10 years as coach? You don't have to look to far to figure that out. Just look what he's done with a bunch of rooks and spare parts in Philly.

I hate career comparisons, too many variables..

Lebron comparisons will be based on peak vs. peak, considering his career could still have another 5-7 years of 1st/2nd option years..

Lebron's close-out performances tonight, along with other potential close-out games in this series, will be of paramount importance in shaping up his legacy..

[Agloco]

.......and even with his shrinking moments in past playoffs

The GOAT shouldn't have this on his resume at any point in his career tbh.

MJ @ age 27: 0 finals appearance/ 0 rings
Lebron @ age 27: 3 finals appearances/ on the cusp of his first

weebo with the goods

Well.....to be fair, with respect to age:

LeBron entered the league 1044 days before Jordan did

Assuming the Heat close out the Thunder tonight, he will win his first ring 306 days before Jordan did.

Also, as is pointed out above he's also had two other opportunities already, and failed. Seems to me like hes a bit behind.
