Come into this thread with an open mind.
In the midst of the Miami Heat winning streak and Lebron having another MVP type of season.
Lebron is finally the undisputed best player in the world with no flaws in the his game .
If everything goes to great for his team they will win their 2nd straight NBA championship this year.
Lebron is in his prime but hes also turning 29 this year and most NBA players historically not named Michael Jordan have declined after the age 30. His sidekick Dwyane Wade is already 31.
So I'm thinking how much longer can the Lebron's teams contend for championships and if you look at it logically with the way the new collective bargaining agreement is set up, 2014 is the probably the last year the Miami Heat will win the championship with its current core.
That would leave Lebron at age 30 with a declining or diminished team around him.
Then I start to think he probably cant add positively to his NBA legacy. I start to think about what his legacy would be..... 3 championships with probably 4 or 5 MVPs and that's when I start to get a little disappointed.
I know it sounds crazy!
But think about it...Lebron was supposed to be the "Chosen One"," We were all Witnesses"to his greatness, King James of all time lore...basically he was gonna be the best player ever. But with just 3 championships, you really cant say hes the best of all time. Jordan, Russell, Kareem would clearly be better, in fact you could even make the argument that Magic, Kobe, Bird, Shaq and Duncan are equals if not slightly better based off championships.
I really think the chances he blew in the 2010 NBA Playoffs and the 2011 NBA Finals will prevent him from being in the discussion for the All Time Greatest
