@shendy456 Um, because MJ, Kobe, and Steph were winners. Betting on MJ to lose a finals series was a bad bet. Betting on LeBron to lose each time would have made you money.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@FastbreakHoops5 Wilt was the most physically advantaged player in NBA history. LeBron is probably 2nd with Shaq close behind, Ultimately - these are 3 of the best players ever, Hard to compare across eras.

@MLFootball @RamsHowse @RamblinFan @vinceayg_ @shawnemerriman @JenniferMills21 @Reekayy @thewaynebreezie @ChargersMemes Take out every player that had a stint in LA that does not on its own stand as a career. Look at their LA career stats only, not if they are sure fire hall of famers that had prime years elsewhere.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@uscfan981 I disagree, but the argument can definitely be made for both. Kobe CARED more. That counts for a lot.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@StopnGoSports Probably Kobe, Bird, Lebron? I say that as maybe grabbing their best 3-5 year stretch. Lebron gets every longevity award, and I would rank him extremely high all time, but the question was "at their best."

@FastbreakHoops5 Michael: "What's an elimination game?"

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@FastbreakHoops5 Big Papi.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@VinnysCorner1 Good list. Always hard to compare across eras. I think Jokic could make a run towards being in the conversation if he has a long enough career. I'd say the same about Wemby, but way, way, too soon.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@FastbreakHoops5 Jordan, Kobe, West, Iverson, Wade

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@NycVipers How many rings did LeBron win without Pippen?

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@joseph_heneghan @VinnysCorner1 Sorry officer, if you let me off with a warning I'll make sure it doesn't happen again!!!!

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@FastbreakHoops5 Possibly top 7-8 scorer, and great in other ways as well.
Best scorers: MJ, Kobe, Wilt, KD.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@TheJordanTruth No, because he would have been a little kid. They would have gotten blown out every game.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@VinnysCorner1 No, not yet, but he probably will be. But if you using the Pedro/Koufax scale, namely most dominant for their peak years disregarding longevity and aggregate stats altogether, then yes.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@Bigbetsbrand123 Any list with Lebron #1 is shite for starters. But it has other issues as well.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@Hoopss That is very easy. If this is a Lakers specific Mt. Rushmore, there is no way LeBron should be there or even in the discussion. I might put Jerry West over Shaq for the same reason - we are considering their Lakers career, and not their overall career.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@NycVipers And yet, could not win as many rings as Jordan despite playing many more seasons and shopping himself around into the most favorable possible conditions.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@moredIscovxr Yes, LeBron , like the great Bugs Bunny, played against the other teams solo. This is so dumb.

[PhilAiken @PhilAiken]

@Hero_OfThe_Day @NBA @nyknicks Russell and Kareem over everyone but Jordan.
