Championships matter in the modern era
and 4 is plenty to prove that Lebron is capable of winning several of them.
It isn't like he is Durant with 1.
He has reached the bar of winning championships. He ran into an all time great Warriors team that we've never seen a team like, and a great Spurs team with revenge on their mind from him beating them the year before.
If you think Jordan is better then it is because you think he is better. not because he won 6 rings and Lebron won 4 haha.
Just like you don't think Horry or Bill are better because they won 7 and 11.

especially since he won a championship during covid and put up a 30.2 PER in the playoffs.

They need to bring back Jerry West and let him have full control over building the team.

LBJ isn’t the best player in the NBA right now, but there is no reason to be a 7th seed with James and AD and good role players.

LeBron is the same age now as MJ was in his Wizards run. Don't forget that.

How can a team with King James keep getting bounced early in the playoffs?
To be fair, his supporting cast just doesn't compare to Joker's supporting cast. That being said, Lebron is Lebitch.

His role players suck and are officiated favorably by being on the big market LA team.

AD was not the best team up as he plays where old man James should be playing at a stretch 4/small ball 5.

Lol the Disney Summer Camp league title huh?
What’s funny is you will count a joke of a title for the Lakers in the summer of 2020 but I bet you will also dismiss Alabama’s 2020 season and call LSU’s 2019 the better season.

Better question is how can a grown man look himself in the mirror after referring to another man as "king"??

"LeBron doesn't elevate his teammates, they have to diminish themselves for him. He hasn't mastered the art of basketball like Magic, Bird, Isiah, Jordan....he doesn't make anyone around him better.". - Jason Whitlock
That can be an argument worthy of an explanation to your question.

That is a stupid Whitlock quote that was said for clicks. I am not even a fan anymore as I can’t stand the Lakers, but he has clearly been a team basketball player his entire career and expanded/improved his game.

See Dwayne Wade before LeBron. See Dwayne Wade with LeBron. He was a ghost.... Instead of the generational player.

It can be two things. He does play good team basketball, but he doesn't have the ability to make the players around him better. I believe he realized this early on which is why he bolted to the Heat to play on a team with already established superstars.
Lebron is similar to Jordan in his early years before he was able to modify his game and mindset to make his teammates better players. I don't like Lebron for his demeaner and the court shite, but I do respect his game and the fact he is one of the top 3-4 players of all-time.

Lebron isn’t even a top 3 player in his own conference anymore

That was solely because Dwayne Wade could not change his game to play any off ball.
Lebron dramatically got better as a shooter to play some off ball and spread the floor. Wade never did that and his whole game relied upon remaining ball dominant. That isn’t good for Wade when the far superior ball handler/scorer Lebron is on your team.
Again it was a bad team up because Wade could not play off ball. Wade is the entire reason they couldn’t win more because he never really expanded his game as the weaker player. Both Bosh and Lebron expanded their games to make that team up work. The only reason they weren’t better and more dominant is because of Wade.
