Lebron James is the G.O.A.T. Jordan needed Pippen to win his NBA titles. James makes his support players play better.

No player wins multiple titles on his own. James needed Wade/Bosh and now Kyrie/Love, both guys on those teams are multiple time All-Stars, so lets get real. Pretty sure MJ would have the same 6 titles or more if he went running to play with Magic or Ewing or Barkley. 

James has a decent case for no.2 or no.3 overall, but zero for GOAT right now. Call me when he has 6 or more ideally, 7 titles. "GOAT" should not have a losing record in the NBA Finals either. 

Number of titles means little when circumstances can get in the way of that.  I would say Wilt Chamberlin and Kareem Abdul Jabbar have powerful arguments for #1 despite having fewer and Bill Russell has no argument for #1 despite having 11 titles.  And Lebron James's individual prowess and the way he can elevate his team are undeniable.  Take your blinders off.
