Kobe was option 2 on the first 3 championships. He's a Pippen. He's really not in the conversation.

The conversation is about where Lebron -- at this moment -- fits into NBA history among the greats. I listed seven, including Lebron, who I consider to be in a Top 10 conversation - that's it. And to label Kobe a Pippen is quite a stretch.

Reducing discussions about the relative greatness of individual players to counting championships has got to be my biggest sports pet peeve.

I agree. Montana/Brady would be a similar example.
Brady winning 4 Super Bowls and 6 conference championships is absolutely more impressive than winning 4 of each.

But oh yeah, team game blah blah blah.

I have LeBron at 6. Jordan, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Jabbar, LeBron, Kobe, Zeke, Hakeem and Russell with Shaquille on the outside. I could see LeBron jumping to 4 some day.
