Lebron doesnt even come close to dominating the way MJ and Shaq did.

Shaq

2000 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
Averaged 38.0 points, 16.7 rebounds and 2.67 blocks to lead the Lakers to a 4-2 victory over the Indiana Pacers and the franchise’s first NBA Championship since 1988. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 43 points, 19 rebounds in Game #1, 40 points, 24 rebounds in Game #2 and 41 points, 12 rebounds in Game #6.

2001 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
Averaged 33.0 points, 15.6 rebounds and 3.40 blocks to lead the Lakers to a 4-1victory over the Philadelphia 76ers and the franchise’s second consecutive NBA Championship. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 44 points, 20 rebounds and five assists in Game #1, 28 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists in Game #2 and 34 points, 14 rebounds in Game #4.

2002 -- Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Lakers
Averaged 36.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.75 blocks to lead the Lakers to a sweep of the New Jersey Nets and the franchise’s third consecutive NBA Championship. O’Neal’s best Finals performances came at the Staples Center with 36 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks in Game #1, 40 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in Game #2, 35 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in Game #3.

Around #15 right now. A title tonight puts him around #9-10.

I'm a Lebron fan and I would say he is somewhere in the 15-20 range as of right now. He's only 28 and in his prime. He SHOULD be top 5 by the time his career ends with #1 POTENTIAL. It's way too early to tell though.

To say he is top 5 now or even top 10 isn't that big of a stretch. Kid has 4 MVP's and has been in 4 finals already and isn't 30 yet. There aren't many NBA players that can say the same thing over a whole career (only MJ, Kareem, and Russell have more MVP's).

Its obvious he will be a top 10 and most likely top 5 player when he finishes but he still has probably 6-8 more years to play in the NBA.

I have him around 15 now. If he wins tonight and gets another finals MVP, he moves ahead of a few people up to maybe 11 or so. It's simple, the more he accomplishes, the higher on the list he moves.

The players are very interchangeable outside of MJ being the GOAT. But again after looking at it, I can't put LeBron over any of the players mentioned in my top 10 above.
