LeBron is probably top ten with 1 title, but probably needs 2 or more to be in the top five |

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. |

No, Bonds is remembered for being one of the greatest hitters in baseball history (and from the more ignorant fans...PEDs). Whether he won a championship never comes up because most reasonable people realize he can't control team quality.

But he wasn't on the best team until last year. That makes all the difference because championships are a measure of team quality, not individual quality.

I'm not saying it's fair. It's just how you measure success. The ultimate goal is titles. If I were LeBron or any pro athlete I'd trade all my stats for rings because that's the true measure of success in sports. Unless I switch to horseshoes then almost is good enough.
