LEBRON IS SO COMMERCIAL

NEW LEBRON JAMES COMMERCIAL
NIKE SLOBS HIM HARD
RINGS DON'T COME EASY
What I got out of that story was that it took Lebron really a long time to win one. just sayin.  

Lebron ended the great debate of who the NBA's best player is last night. The real question now is Lebron James a top 10 player in the history of the game? I think we need to see multiple rings before we say that. Let's see if he can catch Duncan before we start putting him in Magic, Kobe or MJ status.  Yes Kobe. If Michael can acknowledge Kobe is the closest player to himself then you haters can as well. 

If you look at the last 30 years of NBA basketball you see a pattern. The team with the best player in the league is usually going to be a favorite for a title. If you don't have either the best player in the NBA you better have at least the second best possibly third best in rare occasions. No other team sport compares to the importance of this. Other than last year with Dirk and Dallas and the every Detroit Pistons Championship team, all other rings have been won by the team with a top 3 player on it. 

The Lakers, Spurs, Bulls, Celtics, Rockets and Heat have dominated the NBA's Championships of a 30 year old persons life. 
Lakers thru 3 dominate runs had- Kobe,Shaq,Kareem,Magic. 
Celtics through 2 different runs - Bird, Big 3
Bulls- Jordan
Rockets- Hakeem
Heat thru 2 different runs- Wade, Lebron

In baseball teams that had Barry Bonds were certainly not guaranteed deep playoff runs. Hockey teams with Wayne Gretzsky weren't guaranteed a Conference Final every year. But in basketball when you have Lebron it does means deep playoff runs every single year. James has 5 more years in his peak prime that is at least 5 more great chances at cashing in.  I say he ends up with 4 when its all said and done.
