I think LeBron certainly would go down as one of the greats either way. But in basketball I think you have to win a title to reach that upper class of players like MJ, Kobe, etc. that LeBron's talent dictates he should be in.
And that's probably especially true in basketball over any other sport because superstar players make such a difference in basketball. In a sport like baseball or hockey you could be an all-timer and never win because you never had a great pitching staff or goalie, etc. In basketball, the true legends win titles.
