Re: NBA Thread
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.CopperTom wrote:Kobe was option 2 on the first 3 championships. He's a Pippen.

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

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.Coach wrote:I have Jordan, Russell, Bird, Magic, Shaq, and Kobe all ahead of Lebron at the moment. Could change; let's see how the rest of his career goes.
