Nobody ever irrationally penalized greats from the past (malone, barkley, ewing) for not having a ring by vilifying their entire career -- that is until LeBron's critics realized they could have a used car salesman type of career by peddling lies & hate..."the king w/ out a ring!" "He'll never win because he doesn't have the mentality!" etc...
