LeBron has the ultimate trump card when it comes to Legacy "Oh 6 rings is nice MJ, but was any of those in Cleveland?"
Lebron is the man. Is he better than Jordan? Honestly, I'm not sure. He may be a more complete basketball player, to be honest. More talented? I don't know. That was a great series. That was an all time great playoff performance. I've never seen a player put a team on his back like that. To top it off, he did it for his hometown. The emotion he played with was unreal. Him letting it all out was cathartic. The interview afterwards was awesome.
Munford, not Memphis. Common mistake, things you'd only know if you lived there. I think articles and Wiki probably say Memphis, but they are wrong.
On a side note...I went to the GS site to see their reaction and realized that Warriors World must be the a$$hole of basketball sites on the internet...how the fak does anyone even post there? Most folks' thread titles are longer than what they have to say
Props to you for acknowledging the above, bro. Lebron haters have got this guy so wrong, it is not even funny. Dude is a legend in the making.

That being said, Lebron to me and many was already the best small forward of all time, he's now in my top 5 of all time best players.(7 finals appearances, 3 rings)
I watched lebron and MJ their whole careers well atleast all of MJs 6 rings. Do I think MJ is the best? Yes because he was my hero growing up. ...but this guy Lebron James is special and this championship cements in my mind what I have already thought..... That he's hands down the best talent to ever play the game of ball even more so than MJ. Is he better? It's hard to gauge because after looking at all the stats which frankly make it a close race , it's hard to take out 6 for 6 on chips for Jordan. But lebron can make a case that he's the best ever and he's not at fault. It's hard to win rimgs period and he's has a chance at 7 winning 3. Do I think lebron could have won 6 for 6 on those Bulls team in the 90s? Yes I do. Do I think Jordan would have won 7 for 7 on all of Lebrons teams? Absolutly not but he might have more than 3 rings and that's why Jordan is still the best for me. But if you feel lebron is the best I won't argue with you. Jordan 1 lebron 2 and everyone else is after them. These two guys are on a dif planet talent wise.
Lebron is a top 5 player of all time. It's in stone now. Wilt Mj Lebron Big O Jabbar No order. Russell and magic were team players who needed too much help to realistically be top 5.
