No. Unless he has an insane Playoff run. Everybody in the top 10 has at least 2 rings. Wilt and Hakeem are at the end of the top 10 and their 2 rings are all-time great runs so no Lebron doesn't surpass that.
Results 46 to 60 of 65

Re: If LBJ ends up with Back-2-Back "MVP Sweeps", He is LOCKED IN Top 10 GOAT
I had a conversation with our buddy big_mikes1 from NBA General the other day. He suggested that Bird could be bumped from the top 10 if this happens (he also thinks that Garnett with a great run knocks Bird out).

He's already somewhere between 11-16 already.
- Regular season MVP, no championship = doesn't move up
- Championship, F-MVP, no regular season MVP = he'll be in discussion between Duncan and Shaq for 7th and 8th All-Time list. Hakeem or Kobe gets bump from the general census of Top 10 All-Time.

Top 30 seems about right for Kobe, 1996-2008. Originally Posted by Whoah10115

Pau Gasol really saved his career, in terms of all-time rankings.Last edited by DMV2; 01-19-2013 at 03:46 PM.

He already is top 10 GOAT and ahead of Kobe in the all-time list, only Kobe fans disagree.

He did but he's toned it down a bit...he's capable of intelligent conversation now, but that's impossible on those forums. He does still tend to be slightly biased against white players, but when he wants to he's one of the better debaters on the board. Originally Posted by Deuce Bigalow

Kobe was considered the 2nd greatest SG in 2008 before the season ended.
Kobe 1997-2008:
3x NBA Champion
2007-08 NBA MVP
2x NBA Scoring Champion
11x NBA All-Star
10x All-NBA Team
8x All-Defensive Team
2x NBA All-Star Game MVP
Youngest to score 20,000 points
I would say that's easily a top 20 career and some had him top 15 because they had him over Jerry West.

Kobe has always had a great hype machine behind his name. Originally Posted by Deuce Bigalow
