LeBron James dragged 4 guys and a bench that only the most hardcore NBA fans can name 2 of to the NBA finals in his fourth year in the league.

3/5 starters were all stars, not much different than Jordan Pippen Rodman. Kobe + Gasol or Shaq was honestly much more impressive than either.

Maybe I just miss kobe tho...
I'm not talking about his time in Miami. I'm talking about when he dragged Cleveland past Detroit in the Eastern to play the 3-time finals winning Spurs. LeBron and Jordan are both beasts and trying to compare them is futile, but there is a lot of disrespect for LeBron.
Just because LeBron is featured below Jordan in player rankings that doesn't mean LeBron is being disrespected. I mean, is Tim Duncan being disrespected by those who insist in calling LeBron one of the best players ever eventhough Tim Duncan has 5 under his belt and LeBron had to buy his way into 3?
> LeBron James dragged 4 guys and a bench
That counts as one championship, and a performance that's in line with the likes of Kawhi Leonard or Dirk Nowitzki.
Winning a single championship is barely evidence of being superior to Michael Jordan.
