A lot of things have to break in Lebron's favor to win 6 (or more) titles...

Mainly like him and teammates staying healthy and quality of competition

Lebron could ball out in the postseason as we've seen him do during his first stint w/the Cavs and still not win the title...

This ring argument is fairly new because there was a time when ppl said that Oscar Robertson or Jerry West was the GOAT despite their lack of titles (Dr.J said he's got them both in his all-time backcourt "bar none")
