It's not that easy to assemble the kind of talent to win six championships. I'd call it an extreme longshot. Aside from talent there has to be a lack of equal competition. If he wins one championship in New York he's a hero for bringing the franchise back.quote:Who's to say he wouldn't?
The Celtics won more than six in the Russell era. But the 13th pitch in the draft was the second round. It was easier to accummulate talent. The Celtics and Lakers in the 80's had more talent than Jordan's Bulls teams. But they would beat each other. Jordan's Bulls didn't win anything until the Magic, Bird, Isiah Thomas era was over. Even Kobe can't win six.
Lebron might win a championship in his lifetime just on his talent. But the problem with acheiving true greatness will be no one dares push him and upset him. He's surrounded by yes men including the Cav's organization. He's been surrounded by yes men since he was a teen. He may not achieve the true greatness of a champion. He may retire a great individual player like Dominique Wilkins unless he gets a coach who tells him the way it is instead deferring to him.
