What does LeBron need to do to be accepted as the GOAT?
Hey!
Didn't post here in a while, but last couple of days I've been thinking about something...
Is there any chance that LeBron will be accepted by basketball fans as the GOAT when it all set and done? By accepted I mean basically being what is Jordan right now. ( Considered the GOAT by most of objective bball fans).
For me, I don't really see it happening, but if he would for example, win something like 5 championships with the Cavaliers in a dominant fashion, without 2011 finals like moments, with all the MVPs he is gonna get, I guess he could be considered for a GOAT?
Do you agree? What do you personally think it would take for him to get to that level, and do you find it possible? :)

I agree
Re: What does LeBron need to do to be accepted as the GOAT?
It really should be 7 titles.
Even when MJ had 5, people kept saying he needed to get 6 to definitively put himself above Magic.
But I guess we'll lower the bar for Bran. That's too hard.

Not sure, but I believe reincarnation would be a necessary step in the process.

You mean 7 with cleaveland? Or 7 in total?
IMHO, 7-8 in total would actually be enough, even with all his fails, I don't think losing in finals is that much worse than losing before finals.
This is highly unlikely ofc....

Yep, he is kinda running out of time...

Too many things to list. A time machine would be a good start.

Re: What does LeBron need to do to be accepted as the GOAT?
Winning 1 title with Cleveland puts him into the top 5 by the end of his career. It's epicness.
