I wouldn't be surprised if paul pierce considers himself more of an all-time great than Lebron. He has already proclaimed he was better than d-wade.
The guy won one championship as the 2nd fiddle. He also is known to predict series as over after 1 game and looking like a fool.
I wouldn't use this guys comments to try to cement your point. Just sayin'
I have a very hard time not putting lebron top 5 even if you include centers. Something like Jordan, Kareem, Russell and not sure who else you could in fact put above him. Lebron is a better overall player then bird or magic. He is no doubt better than kobe(easier to compare because they played in similar eras). Just hard not to put him in top 5.
I am not even a huge fan as i roll my eyes whenever someone says he is better than Jordan(as that's not a debate) but he belongs in the top 5 of all-time.
Jordan won 6 championships and was taken to a game 7 once, during any rounds of those six rings. Simply amazing. He left nothing to chance.

Not sure how you can say LeBron is "no doubt better than Kobe?" Kobe had way more of a killer instinct, and way more clutch than LeFlopper.
LeBron is just about to break the career record for NBA turnovers, and he's doing it at a record pace.
He almost had as many turnovers as points last night.
Stats don't lie...
LeBron James: 10 PTS, 6 TO, 4/11 FG
Anthony Davis: 31 PTS, 11 REB
Seriously. Have you ever looked at the plus/minus when Lebron is on the floor for the Lakers compared to when he is off? The Lakers minus Lebron aren't even a play off team.
I don't care about small sample sizes and neither should you as a gambler.
You might not like Lebron because of his politics but you're letting it stand in the way of seeing all-time greatness. He will finish 2nd in mvp voting at 35. He is the 2nd greatest non-center of all time to Jordan.
[ Thank God someone is willing to speak out against LeBitch for destroying the NBA. ]
Analyst Rips LeBron James for ‘Destroying the NBAn many people’s opinion, LeBron James has already entered the conversation as the greatest of all-time, building a resume that can stack up with anyone who’s played the game.
With four MVPs, three NBA championships and a heap of All-Star appearances and records to his name, James is certainly among the best to ever lace them up. On top of that, he’s also made a huge impact on the sport culturally, while also using his influence to champion a variety of But Outkick.com analyst Clay Travis believes James’ legacy will not be remembered in a positive light. In fact, Travis thinks that “The King’s” lasting legacy will be one of burning down the kingdom that stars before him built.
“LeBron’s legacy is going to be that he destroyed the NBA in the United States of America. The ratings for the NBA are collapsing in LeBron James’s NBA,” Travis said. “Magic Johnson and Larry Bird did everything they could to build up the NBA into a national force. Michael Jordan then took the NBA to heights you have never seen before. Since Michael Jordan retired, the NBA has been on a consistent downslope and LeBron James is destroying it even further. The young players have taken his lead and decided to be ‘woke’ with all these vapid, not supported by factual date, comments. This is an unmitigated disaster.”

[FONT="]“LeBron is an idiot when he talks about pretty much anything other than basketball,” Travis said. “LeBron defended Goodyear, which President Trump has ripped because Goodyear has inconsistent statements about which politics are allowed to be endorsed and which are not allowed to be endorsed. … LeBron said, ‘we don’t bend, fold or break for nobody.’ Dude, you bent the knee to China.”[/FONT]
"So many people could have been harmed, not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and what we say and what we do. Even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, it can be a lot of negative that comes with it."
Travis is not the only public figure to call out James for his comments about Goodyear. Fox and Friends co-host Will Cain also responded and alleged that the Los Angeles Lakers player bends for "the Chinese communist party." Several NBA fans supported James' comments about Goodyear, but many others disagreed. They instead expressed the opinion that James is willing to exchange money for human rights. Both Cain and Travis made similar comments in the wake of the Goodyear incident.
