    You can't just use the rings argument, but you can't just dismiss it either. Have to look at the entire body of work and it includes chips, stats, accolades, eye test, dominance at their peak. When comparing the GOAT have to look at every single thing they have going and against them. But winning is a huge part because you play to win the game, you don't just play just to play it.

    Sorry but that just isn’t true. You do that once you want to know the best player of all time. People don’t understand that the biggest factor in the GOAT debate is impact. I’ll give you a perfect example. The best boxer statistically is either Floyd Mayweather or Sugar Robinson but if I ask you right now who the greatest boxer of all time is, what will be your answer? Exactly, Muhammad Ali. No one had the impact Ali had on boxing, athletes and just on the world. And that is also why no matter how many rings Lebron will get, Mike will always be considered greater than Lebron on a global scale. Why? Because Lebron’s impact is nowhere near Jordan’s impact. You don’t go to the store to buy Lebron’s, you go to buy Jordans. When you think of 23 you think of Jordan.

It’s dumb and has many flaws in it.

    This also seems flawed. Kevin Durant to GSW? They were already winning championships and going to the finals. So many other factors to consider: Training, coaching, competition, player health, team chemistry. This is a very surface level analysis. I get your point but the examples and logic seems rather limited in conveying the reasoning.

If Steph & Klay weren't injured the Western Conference Finals would've been GSWs vs Lakers/Clippers. If KD & Kyrie weren't injured the Eastern Conference Finals would've been Nets vs Heat. Also if this wasn't a Covid season with no home court advantage no way in hell do the Nuggets come back down 1-3 in two separate playoff series.

    When I come across people that use solely championship to define a player ranking i.e Jordan is better than LeBron because he made it to 6 finals and won it all. I always state, well maybe if he made it to 10 finals and won only 6, would that devalue him as a player because of 4 losses? Plus Robert Horry has 7 championship, that is value making him higher than Jordan because he has one more? I am told no that is not the case. Well I saw this earlier and I was like you can't dismiss the stronghold this man has. NBA season start, what are the CHANCES of winning the league, Is LeBron James in your conference? No, you might have a chance. Yes, is he your teammate? Yes, you might have a chance No, you have no chance... when I saw that I was like wow. The fact is despite his loses at the final, he was able to give himself a chance to win it. That cant be said for every player no matter how great they were to be consistency given a chance to win it. Yes it is a team sport, but you can't deny that he make a team go from normal to title contender from just joining them.

    My problem with the whole argument is people want to pick and choose when it’s a team sport. For example, people always give Bron all of the credit for him making it to the finals, speaking on his dominance and how he “carries teams”. However, whenever he loses the Finals, all of a sudden it’s a team sport so you can’t blame him for it. I feel like if you give a player credit for making it to the finals, you have to give them the majority of the blame when they lose on the big stage. Also, rings are what players play for, so to say they shouldn’t be used is flawed imo. If you don’t use the most important thing in a player’s career, how do you rank players? I don’t think using just stats and personal accolades can fully portray a player’s career.

    Here is the flaw in your argument: No one is saying "Lebron became good only after joining Miami" They are saying Lebron conquored his demons, whatever they may be that allowed him realize his full potential in 2012. He completely shrank in the moment in 2011 which is why its often said that DWade pushed and subsequently taught Lebron how to win and BE the guy. Also rings do matter. They are important but they arent the end all be all. Neither are FMVPS, because neither tell a complete story of how good a player is, how good their competition is and the level of help they had. This is something that HAS to be on a case by case basis. And here is a good example. In the 2002 Finals, Kobe didnt win FMVP even though his numbers in the middle of the dead-ball era vs a top defensive team was as good if not better than Lebron's finals numbers in 2013 and this is comparing a shooting guard who plays iso to a small forward who drives. Does that mean Kobe simply wasnt good enough? No, context is needed. Also FMVP ignore that in reality, Wilt would have 2 and Bill Russell would have like 7 or 8.

Notice how stupid that sounds? Championships can't be the only measurement of greatness. But when you're comparing all time great players, they will carry weight.

    The NBA, NHL, NFL, F1, MMA, boxing... sports saw their ratings plummeted in the last twenty years. The way people consumed sports has been changing in the last 20 years : highlights, illegal streaming sites, basketball applications, etc. But, major sports are still caught in the 1990s... They're basing their numbers on TV ratings! Most people nowadays don't have cable... About the documentaries and KZread contents are on the rise lately for multiple reasons : 1) It's easily accessible, the cost are minimal on internet platforms ; 2) You can watch your show/analysis wherever you want and whenever you want; 3) There are barely no adds and less "dead time" (in the NFL, some games took 4 hours to be completed); 4) You can choose whatever you want. "The Last Dance" aired on Netflix... People were able to chose when to watch it, where to watch it, they had choices... Imagine a NBA application that allowed you to watch games you want, whenever you want and isn't lagging. I paid for NBA services that aren't available in my region, with bias medias... The NBA want more ratings? They have to evolve or die trying.

    It’s a lot of reasons but 1 is fans are bored of seeing not just Bron, but super star players teaming up to get rings. If the AD trade doesn’t happen Bron & AD may face each other in playoffs. By them teaming up that eliminates 1 possible playoff team. Fans know that. Even if it was GS I think ratings would be low. But also the league is still pushing Bron down our throats & he’s not even the best player to most people so it seems forced. & then you have the politics & sports, & other things

Harden is more ball dominant & shoots the ball way more than Lebron with less efficiency & was able to play wit Westbrook who averaged 27 despite Harden averaging 34 PPG, it’s just that Russ was terrible in the playoffs & that’s why they flamed out. I think high usuage that shoot the ball a lot & score get unfairly judged. Warriors motion offense is overrated cause teams know how to gameplan & scheme against that wit teams like the Rockets switching on every offball screen & teams like the Raptors neutralizing Curry with Box & 1 defensive schemes.

There’s a reason Lebron has always won FMVP he’s been the main reason his team gets to and wins the finals. Excluding the 07 And 2018 Cavs where he had to carry a bunch of YMCA players through the playoffs Lebron has always had help going into the finals. Dwade & bosh heat Kyrie & Love Cavs and this year with AD. So making the finals argument is fair when you look a superstar player having a championship level team and they don’t win the championship

    And as for you saying “the media narrative he had to learn how to win in Miami” that is true he did and it’s not an insult. Jordan had to learn how to win. When Phil Jackson came to the bulls he taught MJ how to trust his teammates and stop trying to do everything himself. Every great player has to learn how to win. It’s apart of basketball I.Q. It’s what separates a player like Steph Curry from Westbrook. You can win all these awards and scoring titles but how does it translate to team success. Lebron went from high school to a Cavalier team with no history of winning, no elite coaching, and no supporting cast. He took that team to finals and got swept and year before he went to Miami he flamed out against the Celtics. He joined a heat team with Dwade a player who had already won a championship and Pat Riley one of the greatest coaches ever. Lebron learned from them how to be a championship level leader and what it takes to win. It’s not a insult to say he had to go to Miami to learn how to win all great players have to go through that process

You honestly think they had a chance then? 2. *basketball is a team game and you need other great players but at the end you need a player to close it out* Again, basketball is a "team game", a player can't close anything out if the team he's on - doesn't get close in the first place. Please tell me how Lebron was supposed to close any of the 2014 Finals game when the Heat were getting blown off the floor by a record margin? 3. *Lebron has always had help going into the finals* Not in 2007, 2015 and 2018. Also, having help becomes irrelevant if the opposing team has "more" help (2014 Spurs, 2017 Warriors). 4. *Jordan had to learn how to win* What year? Please be specific. 5. *Lebron learned from them how to be a championship level leader and what it takes to win* Ok, so did Garnett only learn how to win in 07? Drexler in 95? Jordan in 91? Malone in 83? 6. *It’s not a insult to say he had to go to Miami to learn how to win all great players have to go through that process* Did Magic Johnson have to go through that process (won his Rookie year)? Bird (Year 2)? How about Duncan (Year 2)? Kareem (Year 2)? Russell (Rookie)? With all due respect (and I mean that), all you're doing is regurgitating the same talking points that ESPN and FS1 spews out, think for yourself and stop falling for the media narratives.

    The ring argument is used as a finisher of sorts. If players are comparable through stats and individual accolades alone but one can't be discerned as greater then rings and championship success has to be brought into the discussion. It can tip the scales one way especially if both have many appearances but one is more successful.

    This championship that lebron won was by far the easiest in his entire career ever. The Miami Heat were just too small for the lakers. I just hate people that just disregard Anthony Davies as if he wasn’t the biggest reason why lebron even got there. The reason why lebron didn’t even make the playoffs last year wasn’t because he didn’t have a team it was because he needs superstars to win. I mean, if you are the BEST player to EVER touch the ball you should have the ability to lead your team to the finals and win no matter the roaster.

Unlike Bron-centric offensive system, San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors don’t rely on one player to win games. They play with a system and within that structure players have options.

    Rings is not an argument. Its the GOAL. The ONLY GOAL. Stats is what you get while trying to get rings. Players sacrifice stats for wins. Players tell you after every game that the most important thing is the WIN. Players have great stats and leave their teams to WIN. People that argue against rings use Bill Russsll as a copp out without doing any comparison AT ALL. Lets see... Bill Russell play in a league of 8 to 15 teams and played 25 rounds of playoffs to win 11 rings while Jordan played 24 rounds to get 6 rings. Then they wanna use the Robert Horry argument as if theybdont know a star from a role player. SMH...

When Kyle Kuzma becomes a free agent, his salary will be much higher than it should be due to him winning a championship. He sucked the whole playoffs but he'll be classified as a "winning player" even though he should be considered an inconsistent role player who doesn't excel in any area.

Lebron never got carried by AD and AD mever got carried by Lebron. They both need each other. AD missed the playoffs and never won u til lebron and lebron until AD came he missed the playoffs too. And now they have a better team and need each other.
