Again - I won’t say LeBron is not great - only in the overall list of best of the best - he’s at best in the 6-10 list.
Make a Mt Rushmore of NBA greatest and use winning as well as their total impact on the league and separation above and beyond their peers in stats - LeBron fades down the list vs. just saying all time stat leaders. Longevity and the desire of guys to try to build super teams has made him great.
The super teams of the 80s (Lakers and Celtics) came together by chance and superior GM/coaches - the super teams of LeBron came together because of LeBrons hype and media attention.
He can do a lot and playing a long time and staying healthy helped quite a bit. But if your going to tell me he is better than Chamberlin/Jordan/Russell in their era - your wrong. He may be the modern Oscar Robertson if not for free agency and ability of guys to basically pick where they want to play.
Dudes who thinks he’s 1st 2nd and 3rd on the list of all time greats based on the team he played for . Having a 20 year career and a high standard is nothing to overlook - but it doesn’t make you 3x as great as guys who only played 10-12 years.
