This guy is playing absolutely out of his mind. The player he is right now is miles and miles better than the player he even was in his first year with Miami. He is a lethal outside shooter for the first time in his career. He has an aggressive and effective inside game as well.
He is way better right now than Kobe Bryant ever was. And LeBron is right about you cannot simply count championships to measure greatness. LeBron said that Jud Buechler's rings do not make him better than Charles Barkley, and that he considers Jordan to be better than Bill Russell despite Russell's 11.
Hell, even if LeBron wins 10 titles, that wouldn't make him a better player than Jordan.
Magic Johnson said that if LeBron and Jordan played one-on-one 10 straight games that Jordan would win all 10 games. I am pretty sure I agree with that. But that would likely be a different story if it was 5 LeBron's versing 5 Jordan clones. He is a complete basketball player, much like Jordan, but at a larger size.
I think LeBron is already the second greatest perimeter player (only behind Jordan) to ever play basketball. The only couple of player I would even consider placing in front of LeBron other than Michael are Kareem, Wilt, and maybe Hakeem.
