What Lebron did last year has never been done by a perimeter player in the history of the NBA but still you can't put his career in perspective until its over, we still have more greatness to witness

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.

and a better passer. Lebron can be perfect at any position

BASED ON career achievements...Lebron isn't better than anyone of those 5 guys u named because his career isn't done (debatable), but if he keeps this pace, he will easily top Magic, Bird, Kareem, Wilt....i don't think Lebron will ever be better than MJ (regardless if Lebron win 7 rings), based on the fact MJ changed the game, his popularity and his stans.

I agree. I'll take it a step further.
His peak could be better than Kareem/Magic/Bird/Jordan/whomever else.
What this guy is doing is unbelievable. He isn't even 30. If he keeps what he's doing up right now, that'll arguably be a peak that's better than anyone else in league history. However, that depends on how long he can extend his peak, or his prime that he is in now.
And as far as top 5, I just feel that he's already done enough to be top 5. He's done it all on a level done by maybe only a few players have done it ever. That's top 5 material.

larry to me is a better rebounder,faciliator, shooter and crunch time scorer
lettuce not forget he swept jordan twice and played against the bad boy
pistons,showtime era lakers and countless other hall of famers
he won 3 straight MVP'S in magic's prime and was a career 25-10-6-2 guy
im not saying lebron cant ecplise that ..i would just like to see him play a few more seasons
before we make judgement on an all time list

Larry's a great passer as well, But I agree. When I say that Lebron is a better shot creator, I didn't mean just for himself I meant for others as well.

i think that is debatable...Bird was an amazingly good passer/playermaker just like Lebron.

and thats without being a ball dominate player

defensively lebron IS better though
bird was a high iq scrappy defender , just not a great on the ball defender in my opinion

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

i actually think he could one day be top 3,2,1 etc sky's the limit
i just need to see him body people in a few more finals before we
make judgement on his career

i'm not a fan of comparing players from different eras, but larry was a great play maker. let's not front on his 6 apg career average. and i'm willing to bet his usage rate is a lot lower than lebrons

Lebron is 6'8 and 260 but is one of the fastest and aglie players ever and can do anything.

I think most would agree that there's no telling how great he can become. It's beautiful to watch honestly. I'm potentially watching someone who has a great shot at being the greatest ever.
