Jordan?
Kareem?
Lafayette Lever?

Nobody out there is really advocating for the position that Bron > Jordan, right today. What many argue is that the totality of Bron's work over the past 15 years is on-par with GOAT activity - only reached by the likes of Jordan/Kareem - and if anybody is going to dethrone MJ, it's LeBron.

The titles thing is funny. 3 titles is an elite mile-marker, and always has been (people used to always tout that Bird had 3 titles as to why he was better than LeBron) - particularly when you were the Finals MVP for all 3 of those titles (second only to Jordan). 3 titles in today's NBA is *a lot*. The way that Bron has won his titles have been prolific - against the top of the very top in all-time competition.

But it's not simply a calculus of titles. It's comprehensive achievement - both as an individual and as a member of a team. The argument for LeBron is that he is the most accomplished individual talent the game has ever seen. To fathom that he could finish as the game's all-time leading scorer (when he's a pass-first playmaker) and top 3 in assists is absurd. That it's even possible is the evidence for his anomalous greatness.

He's #2 All-time. Jordan is his peer.
