Jordan Rule would be 6. Not 6-0, just 6. the championship losses shouldn't be counted against anyone. Wins are better yes, but coming in 2nd shouldn't be worse than coming in 5th. Nobody cares about Magic's finals losses. He got 5, that's all that matters.

Lebron would love to get to 6. He probably won't and if he does it will be lining up with other superstars and will have detractors. Kobe wanted 6. He didn't care he lost a couple finals.

Brady got 6. 2 more than any other QB ever. No other QB been to more than 5. Oh, he's been to 9.

Eras also matter I get that. Bill Russell was a different era for NBA. If people want to prop Joe up more cuz this era is softer that's fine. Brady is the best of the last 25 years and not close any more.
