      Lebron wasn't in Barkely's top 5 either and nobody batted an eye. Taking everything into account, I conclude:
      1. Jordan
      2. Lebron
      3. Kareem
      4. Duncan/Kobe: interchangeable, depends on the argument
      6. Magic

    1.) Bird didn’t build up the Celtics’ organization greatness and Kobe didn’t build up the Lakers’ organization greatness. They continued it, but they didn’t built it up.
    2.) I do admire how some greats can stay on one team and be able to win there, but they’re 2 sides of that. The franchise player gotta do his part on his court and the organization gotta do there part in the front office. Bron did is part the organization didn’t 🤷🏽‍♂️💯
    3.) So since Pierce was drafted by the Celtics and got them a chip (sort of) and before Bron did in Miami, so does Paul think he’s better than Bron all time?🤔

He should take some personality of jordan. If his teammates are playing bad he took over. I watched jordan kill an entire team. All 5 players are guarding jordan and still no one can stop him. With handchecks, physicality that can make you outbalanced when you are shooting, and a center than can stay under the rim to meet you. No one got close to MJ. Lebron is just top ten player of all timd

    The Celtics beat Wilt, not Bill Russell. Russell, who was a phenomenal player, had an incredibly stacked team and an all-time great coach and that is why Wilt's teams came up short. For his part, Wilt averaged 28.7 Points and 28.7 Rebounds against Russell across 142 Games. Imagine averaging near a 30-30 game across 142 Games and being told that the other guy, who averaged half that, is better because he had much better team-mates.

LeBron had all the power in the world to switch teams, he has no excuse of only winning 3 titles while others stayed with their teams and delivered more.

      He meant that he kept LeBron out of the top 5 because he doesn’t like LeBron.

      Starrk that’s still doesn’t make sense cause he just moved Kobe into 5 on Monday lol. I don’t mind his list. He not trying to change anyone else’s.

      Why do the biggest names in the nba past & present all have Kobe ranked higher than Lebron and the media that has never played the game say something else?

      battlecat403 because most the players saying that are retired and therefore played in the era where Kobe was more prevalent. In 10 years there’ll be players who experienced lots of prime Lebron years saying Lebron is the goat. I can guarantee that. Let’s see what DeMar DeRozan says in 2030 about how good Lebron is.
