LBJ moves into third place all by himself. Now he is chasing down the greats West and Baylor for losing the most NBA finals.  :)

2 Scenarios:

1: LeBron stays in CLE for the rest of his career makes the finals another say 5 times and wins 1 or 2 of them.

2: LeBron goes to Houston and brings along say DeMarcus Cousins with him. They win the next 6 rings.

Which scenario gets him closer to being GOAT?

This thread is a great example of this. Rings are not a marker of individual greatness in a team sport.

#1 with 2 wins as #2 is not realistic.

It is one of many things to consider. Has there been any individual that is considered GOAT in a team sport that has not won the big one?

Classic example is "O" in hockey.

Yeah, no thanks. Arguing with you about sports is not something I see myself doing ever again. It's the epitome of futility.

If MJ didn't retire the first or second time would he have won 8, 10 or more in a row?

It was a very simple question. I guess the answer is no.

Ovi is not even close to GOAT, but can make a case to be considered greatest goal scorer of all time.
