if you want to be regarded as a top 5/top 10 player you cant just look at peak you have to look at what they have done as a whole. i think lebron will be top 5 when he retires but as of now, with two championships, he's not there yet. if he were to never win another title then he would not be top 5.
and peak wilt is the most overrated player in sports, how can you be top 5 all time when you only led your team to one championship while having the same guy beat you in the playoffs every year
what does lebron do better than bird?
He's a better finisher at the rim, he's a better shot creator, and he's better off the bounce. He's also a better defender than Bird was.
i didn't say Lebron deserved to be in the top 5 because his peak is stronger than Kareem/Magic/Bird. I know that having more rings than the next man makes you higher on the all time list (even doe i don't believe having more ring = better player).

Thread title change
talent wise i have in no order
lol u guys are jokes...if u don't think Lebron is top 5 talent wise....career ain't ova and u oldheads getting so butt hurt it's funny.
Lebron ain't do anything with his talents? People trying to discredit everything.
talent wise i have in no order
jordan, bron, shaq, wilt, kareem
but having talent doesn't mean that much to me, its what you do with your talent

never said that, but guys like jordan kareem magic bird ect have done more with their talents which is why i put them ahead of him. lebron has not let me down at all in terms of what he's done with his talent. how is it discrediting lebron to not put him above top 5 status legends when his career isnt even half over?Lebron ain't do anything with his talents?

Bruh when dude gets that post game elite.... man dude man dude man dude like bruh.... man aint no ready bruhI'm a Heat fan.
And as of right now it's hard for me to put Bron in the top 5 of ALL TIME. But as many others have mentioned.. with him being what, 29? And the pace he's going at, and the fact that he manages to improve every year still.. he has a good opportunity to end up in the top 5. I think if we 3 peat this year it'll help a lot.
i would say the lakers/celtics gm is happer that he drafted magic/bird than the cavs gm is for drafting lebronIf your a gm, your taking bird and magic over bron?talent wise i have in no order

its getting better but it aint elite yetIdk if you're being sarcastic or not but his post game is getting better lol.

its getting better but it aint elite yet
hmm....i think i can make an agrument over Lebron doing more with his talents than at least 2 of the players you just named.

at the end of the day if im starting a team the goal is to win titles, its proven that drafting bird/magic resulted in 4/5 titles respectively. so far, lebron only has given me twoYea because they also didnt have to wait 8 years to have great teammatesi would say the lakers/celtics gm is happer that he drafted magic/bird than the cavs gm is for drafting lebron
i wonder how Lebron career would look if he was drafted by a great basketball organization.

lol with this logic, you are going to pick Pippen ahead of Lebron James too?

nah, pippen is not the same tier player as bron. there is no one saying that pip belongs in the top 10, but when you do get to that magic/bird/kareem/mj/bron/kobe/duncan ect level they are all so great that its hard to pick them apart. for me the most important factor/tiebreaker is titles since its what everyone plays for and is regarded as the most important achievement in all these player's careers.i wonder how Lebron career would look if he was drafted by a great basketball organization.
