I hope he isn't the next LeBron because LeBron has not won titles as a player of his stature should have. He is not mentally tough.
What are you talking about? He has 4 rings. That’s very good.
If Tatum wins 4 rings, I’d be ecstatic. I’d be pumped with one.
I think he means that for a player who thinks he’s the greatest of all time, he should have more than 4 rings.
Why? There is so much more than winning that goes into evaluating individual greatness.
Yeah its a weird argument. Back in 2016 when ESPN did their top 100 players of all time their top 5 were in order Jordan, Kareem, Lebron, Magic, and Wilt. The next 5 were Larry, Bill, Duncan, Shaq, and Hakeem.
Other than potentially Lebron moving higher, I doubt that list would change at this point (at some point perhaps Curry or Giannis will move into it, but I don't think they are there yet).
The titles for those players are
6
6
4 (he had 2 at the time of the list)
5
2
3
11
5
4
2
So yeah, I don't think titles matter all that much in the grand scheme of these things.
