Isiah Thomas Just Said Lebron Is Top 3 All Time

[NBASTATMAN]

Jordan
Kareem
Lebron



I Wont Say I Agree But I Wont Argue Either

[PJR]

He's right

[rodman91]

He has an amazing career for sure.

He is somewhere from Magic/Bird to Shaq/Duncan. Over guys like Hakeem & Kobe etc.

Depends on how do you rank Wilt & Russell. Only Jordan & Kareem has clear case over him.

[Hoopz2332]

he knows whats up

[raprap]

Can't argue with that. Bron has solidified himself into the top 5.

[Spaulding]

I don't have him past Wilt, Bird, Russel and Magic.

He's top 10 solidified. Probably be top 5 unarguably when his career ends.

[Smoke117]

He's not even top 5.

[hangintheair]

Is he the guy that traded for Eddy Curry and signed Jerome James for a bigger contract?

[Fudge]

He's at least top 5 right now. Highest is top 3.

He's still in the running for GOAT. That's a fact.

[Sarcastic]

So Jordan is #1 then?

[KirbyPls]

It's significantly harder to argue he's out of the top-5, than that he's top-5. Since MJ retired, only Duncan has a case, and I think Lebron's peak edges him, though it's close.

My current opinion:

MJ;
Kareem;
Russell (I don't necessarily agree, but 11 titles is still something);
Lebron/Magic/Duncan;
Magic/Lebron/Duncan;
Duncan/Magic/Lebron

Lebron will be number three all-time at the end barring injuries and has an outside chance at #2. I think LBJ might be the best all around player ever, but MJ is still the greatest playoff performer/scorer/winner I've ever seen, and Lebron is a shade below, unfortunately.

Well said! I think u could AT LEAST argue Bron as top 5 GOAT. For starters, he has the combo of 4 MVPs AND three rings. Only Russ, Kareem, and MJ have done the same. From there, Bron is the most versatile player of all time as well. And THE KEY could be the career numbers Bron could end up with. We are talking at least 30,000 points and possibly even 10,000 assists.

You're a great poster homie.

[DirkNowitzki41]

I have LeBron locked in as top 5 GOAT. At 3-5 range right now. Pretty incredible place to be at 31 years of age.

I say he retires with being a top 2 GOAT. Back and forth w MJ in discussions.

[Kenomax]

He's easily top 5, probably top 3.
