Think most people have made their minds up already about this.
I’m not sure it can’t be changed if he wins a few rings coming out of the West.
I’m too young to remember but was MJ considered the GOAT after the first 3peat? Or was it not until the 72 win season? Or after #6? At some point he was just another all-time great like Lebron is now. But things can change. Not saying they will but if Lebron has 6+ rings/FMVP plus all time leader in points, assists, and wins in both regular and post season it’d certainly help his case.
It's not about wins at this point. 6 losses in the Finals takes him out of the conversation. He's the modern-day Jerry West, and nobody considers him the GOAT even though he was a terrific player.

Jordan going 1-9 including 2 sweeps in the first round is much worse than losing in the finals. Lebron has never lost a first round series.
For MJ fans, LeBron could win 5 more rings and become the new NBA logo, and they still would say MJ is the GOAT. imo 2 more rings puts LeBron over the top, but we still have a long way to go this season.

Lol, am I really reading that more wins in the first round >>> more wins in the Finals?

I mean he’s not going to win four more, so the Jordan people won’t budge. If you think it’s Russell then more rings won’t move the needle. If you think it’s Wilt better stats won’t change it. People are pretty dug into their #1s. _________________ 14-5-3-12
GOAT implies that nobody in the future will be better than people right now.
There will be more talent monsters in the future. So, GOAT is so subjective. As long as you are in the top 10 of most people's conversation, you are the GOAT.
One. Because he would have proven that he was the best player on three different teams that won championships. No one has ever done that. When MJ joined the Wizards, he was too washed and couldn't do (bleep).
Yea, I just need one ring from him for Lakers and I'm satisfied because also of what he's done for this franchise. We were going nowhere after 6 consecutive years of not reaching the playoffs even with a bunch of high pick prospects. Then Lebron came and in two short years, we went from competing for draft picks to competing for a championship. The quick turnaround was absolutely unexpected and amazing. So yea, just one championship is enough for me to crown him the absolute GOAT. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024
A Lakers 3-peat would cement him at least tied for 1st. A dynasty with the largest brand in sports. Items wrap. Not going to be easy. This is his best chance. KD, Kyrie, Curry, Klay are all waiting. And they have something to say about it. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant
I'll take a prime kobe over prime lebron all day any day.
Let’s not turn this thread into Kobe vs LeBron, both respect each other and LeBron still brings up Kobe during interviews.

It's a thread asking about Lebron being the goat...
He could be the GOAT and also a Laker great
Fair enough... I guess I meant my answer was "He cannot become the GOAT no matter how many more rings he wins."
My reasoning is I feel like Kobe is the GOAT, even if Lebron wins more rings. I never felt like the most championships= the GOAT. Championships are a team accomplishment. I do hope Lebron can win 5 more tho lol as long as it's with the Lakers.
