But what wasn't apparent was that LeBron would be *this* elite this late in his career - easily eclipsing the previous longevity GOAT (Kareem).

But the notion that penalize the guy who's won the 2nd most Finals MVPs in league history for somehow "not winning enough" is silly - particularly when he's won the most playoff games of any player in league history and leads the game in virtually all playoff records.

He's got 4 rings. That's a *lot* -- but when you consider that he's the only player in history to have 3 Finals MVPs w/ 3 different teams?

Yea - that's not something you can cite to degrade his legacy.
