Lbj is the best all around player in nba history. It's not even debatable. You put mj, kobe, or any other player on the teams he has been on and they wouldnt have made the finals in half of them. Bill Russel had hall of famers for his 11 rings. Mj had hall of famers, and the most underrated player in history with him. Go look in the mj thread for more info on the stats of the year he didn't play. Look at the stats of teams after lbj leaves. If lbj had those teams he would have rings on his toes. People get too nostalgic and will always hold someone as the best until they die. I'm not a huge fan of lbj, but I can't deny the guys greatness, and he works hard for it.
