2548838, Jordan accomplished more re: rings

Though Bron still has some opportunity to close the gap...

but what Bron has accomplished is unparalleled in terms of degree of difficulty. He wasn't drafted to a great team - and had to endure 7 seasons without being surrounded with a championship caliber team. Went to Miami and put together a historic run (4 straight Finals; 2 titles) - and put himself on par with the all-time greats. Then does something that barely anyone expected - returns to Cleveland (a lottery team) - and immediately turns the ship around, and wins the elusive Cleveland championship under *these* kind of circumstances - in the historic, all-time great manner that he played?

Never has been done. Never will be done again.

The only argument that I think is reasonable is Jordan - and he's now closing the gap on that.
