He's not finished but there is still a ways to go before he can even be considered King. Unless he can travel back in time and delete Michael.

He didn't put himself on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He didn't put his own games on ESPN while he was in high school. I don't understand blaming him for the attention he was given.

I would agree that his game has deserved some criticism at times. He's not perfect. He is not the best in the clutch. He is too passive at times. Too many turnover in crucial situations. But I still have no doubt in my mind about his greatness and yes, I think it is saying a lot to say he's been the best. Best in the world is best in the world. Doesn't mean best all-time. I don't think he tarnished his legacy one bit. So what if he teamed with another great player to do it. All others did the same thing. You're going to hold it against him that Cleveland never got him help. He didn't have the luxury of being drafted to a team that already had the league MVP (Kareem) like Magic did and then add Worthy. He didn't come in like Bird and have McHale and Parish. He didn't get a Pippen drafted to his team. He didn't come in and play with young Shaq like Kobe did. He didn't play for Riley, Jackson, or Popovich. And he also didn't play shotgun and ride someone else's coattails to titles. He was the league and playoff MVP both times in Miami.

You're right in that he'll never be Jordan. I don't care if he wins 10 more. He's not better than Jordan and never will be.

I agree he's the best of this era. Moving back to Cleveland helped his legacy tremendously.

If he can get two more rings he'll be without a doubt top 3 all time. It's not going to be easy...he's about a season and a half from surpassing Jordan on games played.

So if he died today he's not top 3? I don't buy it, I have him 2ND and closing on MJ now.
