Lebron is working his way up the ladder. The year he is having, in his 15th season, is crazy

I think he's worked his way up the ladder about as far as he can without adding more titles. It's not his regular season resume or even his playoff resume that is lacking. It's championships.

I think the only way he can move himself up any further would be if he wins a title with a different team. That would make him the only player in NBA history to lead 3 different teams to titles.

I think that's at least part of what feeds his rumored interest in the Lakers. He's very aware of his legacy and knows that a title with a 3rd different team and bringing back a storied franchise would be things that none of the other all time greats could claim.

He doesn’t have to win with a different team. If he wins a title against the current Warriors that is lne huge step. MJ never fsced a team even close to this current Warriors team. He would have two titles better than any of MJ’s (facing superior talent). That would be one BIG step

tough one between Kurt Rambis and Mel Counts...

Except that he's already beaten the Warriors. So no, it wouldn't.

Also, stop with the "MJ never faced a team like the Warriors" nonsense too. Guess what? The Warriors have never faced a team like MJ's Bulls either.

When it comes to championships, Lebron isn't going to catch MJ and Kareem and it's very unlikely that he's going to catch Magic.

That means there is one thing left that he can do that none of those all time greats did...lead 3 different teams to championships. That would do far more for his resume than beating the Warriors.

Dude, you have to face the fact that he will never eclipse Jordan in some people's mind, me included.

The further away we get from Jordan in his heyday, the bigger his accomplishments become.

This will forever be a divisive topic.

By the way, I still don't think he is chasing Jordan.

I think he's chasing KAJ.

But, that's just my opinion.

That Fucker could have had a great career in the WWE.

He could take a clothesline like nobody's business...lol

If that happened today, they'd have to medivac the player off the court.

Rambis popped right back up.

I have him 4th on my all time list, so I have him chasing Magic, KAJ and MJ.

Sam Cassell = GOAT!

Popped right back up looking to fight too. I'm almost sorry that other players stepped in. Rambis vs. McHale would have been pretty entertaining.

My favorite part of that is that it was just a common foul. McHale didn't even get t'd up. lol

Today, he'd be ejected from the game, fined and looking at a minimum 5 game suspension.
