How many rings do you think Lebron would win if he replaced Magic on showtime.

[coastalmarker99]

I say that Lebron on those Showtime teams most likely wins rings in 1980 1981 1982 1984 1985 1987 1988.

For a total of 7 rings.

As he would be a huge upgrade defensively over Magic while providing basically the same impact offensively

No hell no. Magic was a considerably better passer and that Lakers team was built around magics ability to push the break and pass.

[ArbitraryWater]

Oh my.

Probably 8.


He can give you just about anything Magic can give you, but +15 points when it really comes down to it.


And much better defense.

[MrFonzworth]

Zero. Bron ball would ruin the team and he would leave the Lakers to stack the deck.

[dazzer87]

LeGoat 9-10 rings with the lakers………..

[Bronbron23]

Man this place so full of trolls. Some say 8 some say zero lol. It be somewhere in between. 3-4 chips.

[Axe]

He'd still win more than wilt obviously.

[StrongLurk]

A lot...more than he has now.

[Full Court]

I don't know...Bronie has an uncanny knack for losing with superteams.

[1987_Lakers]

Alot. 5 minimum for sure.

[Chick Stern]

LeBron has literally never been a great defender

All of them.

Literally all of them.

Put the GOAT together with the top 3 player all time Kareem? Its over.

Lebron is the greatest fast break player of all time lmao.
But how many ring would Lebron win in Magic’s spot then?
Then tell me how many MJ would win in Magic’s spot?

[tpols]

LeBron has never been able to play with a low post center like Kareem. Big Z, Jamison, Bosh, Love, AD.... all stretch big men. Low post centers clog Lebrons driving lanes. It doesn't work.

Could they win a ring or two off pure overwhelming talent? Sure. Would they have better chemistry than they had with magic ****ING Johnson? No.

And talent + teamwork is the equation for success so to suggest they'd win more with LeBron than magic is a total absurdity.

[John8204]

9-10 - maybe they lose to the 86 Celtics keep in mind they also might take Dominic Wilkins over James Worthy and Mark Price over AC Green

[G0ATbe]

1st and 2nd greatest players of all time on one team? 10 rings minimum. Im envisioning LePointGod dumping it down to Kareem as he swoops in for a skyhook alley oop:bowdown:

[Gohan]

Hell iverson wins 5 rings if you replaced magic with him so i say 6

[BigKobeFan]

0

Bran ball needs outside shooters

Ref wont bail him out in the 80s

[John8204]

Flip side the player built like a linebacker gets to play physical in the 80's without refs calling penalties every second play.

High IQ post here.

The 2022 Lakers should have made everybody understand that just stacking a team with talent doesn't guarantee wins. Team chemistry is a HUGE factor.

[Shooter]

LeBron won 4 chips with a fringe top 30 guy (Wade) and a fringe top 100 guy (Davis) and an unranked Kyrie.

Now you're asking what he'd do with a top 3 player in Kareem and a top 75 player in Worthy?

Let's say at least 8 and considering he wasn't a shortgevity player, maybe even 10 or 11.

Yep, shooters like Kuzma, KCP, Rondo and Danny Green :roll:

[John8204]

Lebron would definitely be doomed with Jerry West as his GM...like Jerry West would find good shooters

[kawhileonard2]

He could only win 4 despite playing with Shaq (MVP, 3x Finals MVP), Dwight (4x DPOY), Ben Wallace (4x DPOY), Anthony Davis, Kyrie, D.Wade (Finals MVP), Bosh, Mo Williams, Jamison, Derrick Rose (MVP), Carlos Boozer, Big Z, Russell Westbrook (MVP), Carmelo Anthony (scoring champ)

Any time Bron has played with a low post threat, the team has won a lot of games... So... no really?

[ImKobe]

0 rings, would get traded after his rookie deal and be a bench warmer for the rest of his career.

And some said you were a "good" poster :lol
