My dad was trying to tell me LeBron easily ranks under Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bird...Then he pulled out Russell, West and Baylor...Then Kobe and played the "I saw them play!" card.

 

I also done a s*** ton of NBA history research. I still say only MJ and aKareem have concrete spots above him.

 

 

Bird? He wouldn't even get a shot off against LeBron.

Jordan is automatic and I can buy Kareem, Wilt and maybe Magic. But if people like it or not, Russell will always have a leg up with the media and such cause of the 11 championships. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. Pretty much why rankings are meaningless minus the top 3. People will put LeBron around 3-10 still.

Bird? He wouldn't even get a shot off against LeBron.

Larry Bird's career stats vs Scottie Pippen: 14 G, 26 PPG 8 RPG 6 APG, 50% FG and 87% from the line.

 

Larry Bird's career stats vs Dennis Rodman: 15 G, 25 PPG, 8 RPG, 7 APG, 49% FG, 95% FT.

 

Yeah, no way he could get off a shot against Lebron.... Jesus Christ.

So, probably gonna let this thread ride today for any more championship talk then close before the draft, just FYI.

Smart. The draft is the official kickoff of the season imo.
