Yes u are probably right but he was around for 30 years! In 50 years no one will remember David Stern but people will remember who lebron James was.

Like how nobody remember who Larry O'brien was?

Oh maybe u know him as the KING!

Exactly hitman. Most people have no idea who the hell that is lol.

Why would Elvis be on the NBA's Mt. Rushmore?

Mark Cuban???????


LOL

I hate how Lebron calls himself the king. It's a joke.

That is a pretty ballsy nickname to have but he is a special talent.

I don't have a problem with a guy like LeBron saying when his career is over he will be on the face of the NBA's Mount Rushmore. He's the best in the league and legitimately, arguably in the entire or multiple generations since Jordan. The results of his level of game warrant a player like him being mentioned in the same breadth of his previous peers who stood above all others in their time.

The thing is, he said it would be so when he is done, he isn't done and if he was done today he would not bump anyone of a pundits theoretical Mount Rushmore unless they were fan enough already that he is there currently. He has more to prove to get on there for me, but he is certainly on track to do so.

I actually believe David Stern would deserve it more than Lebron.

A guy who can't play basketball at any point in his life isn't on the Mount Rushmore of basketball. Players change the game, not lawyers.

If we're talking about just players then Shaq and Duncan are higher on the all-time greats list than Lebron. Lebron is the NBA version of Peyton Manning. He's great in the regular season but not so much in the finals.

Are u kidding me? Have u watched the last couple years. He shook that reputation of sucking in the playoffs after the Mavs beat them in the finals 3 years ago.

He has needed his supporting cast to bail him out time and time again. Did you watch games 6 & 7 vs the Spurs? he choked the last 2 min. Ray Allen bailed him.

Ray Allen is a hall of famer that made a great play.

There goes the king tonight showing that KD still isn't the runaway MVP just yet.

I think it had more to do with Westbrook returning.

the process you're describing here is that of a team working together to win a title.

i strongly doubt it could be said that any player has ever won an NBA title single handed, yet you want to downgrade James for not doing so?

James has a history of fading in the big moments of the playoffs. In the final 2 min of a big game he crumbles for some reason.

I disagree with that totally.
