Anyone who uses rings as a measure of personal individual talent is half a fukkin retard. Luke Walton has more rings than Lebron.Lebron James is the single greatest physical specimen in the history of basketball when taking into account every facet of the game, both sides of the ball. He was born to play basketball and he does it better than anyone ever has from a talent averaging perspective. The only two other individuals on this level are MJ and Kobe, but neither had the raw physical talent, size, speed, and awareness of the game that Lebron possesses. Of course cases could be made for all three but imho it's far and away Lebron.As time progresses so does talent in competition. NBA of Jordan era was less competitive than it is now due to a number of factors, that's just logical science. In 10-20 years another will come along who will be better than Lebron, that's the beauty of competition, it spurs innovation and greater success. For James to play the way he plays in this current era, no one in this league today or 20 years ago or 40 years ago can hold a candle to him. And whoever made the comment that Larry Bird was better, HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. That was funny, thanks.
