Can Lebron be a legend with just one ring?

[Darts]

I guess these guys aren't legends either:

Barkley
Ewing
Drexler
KG
... etc

Nope not legends.

you're confusing legend wit GOAT.

Another legend:

Sure, there are NBA Legends with no rings.

Whether by coincidence or not, most of the legends of the game have more than one ring.

Since we know that both Lebron and his fans want to achieve that legendary stature in the game...is this one ring enough?

Is it mandatory that Lebron wins another ring?

He was a legend before he got the ring. He needs at least 3 before we start talking about him vs MJ, or him vs Kobe. At least

For arguement's sake let say he wins a defensive POY, 2-3 more MVP's along with just 1 more championship and Finals MVP. Where would he be ranked?

Oscar Robertson.

Stop with this bar raising and see a great player for what he is.

I still stand by my prerequisite of 3 rings to even have make this a discussion. Let's not forget he needed to form Megatron to win the championship, Kobe got it done in two different eras comin' out of the West Kobe has been robbed of at least 2 MVPs himself, in my humble opinion, so I can only go by what can't be biased, which is the championshiops. Until Bron gets at least 3 rings, MJ>Kobe>Bron

lebron only needs 1 more finals mvp to pass kobe.

Nope not legends.

I had to neg you for saying Dominique Wilkins ain't a legend

He is great. Its his fans that want him to be a "legend" so badly...which he ain't...yet.

If he retired right now he'd be a first ballot HOF...


I aint even a fan of Lebron the hate some people show for him is fukking stupid. It's one thing if you dislike how his fans had been hyping him up for years, but that doesn't change the fact that the dude is an all time great talent and is one of the most accomplished players in NBA history.

Considering how many people have played in the NBA over the years, if you're considered on of the top 50 players of ALL TIME you're a fukking legend, PERIOD.
