So far both LeBron and Curry already have 3 rings, but it is safe to say that Steph has a better team and he is 3,5 years younger. Lakers are a talented team but currently, they are far away from a championship and LBJ is in the winter of his career, starting his 16th year.

On the other hand, Kyrie has one title so far, but our team is a dynasty in the making and IMO he could end up with 5, 6, etc. He is just 26, a lot younger than the two.

So, whats your hunch?

It can easily be a 3-way tie in merely 2 years.
Kyrie will be 28 then. Lebron won his first at age of 27, Curry at 26.

Probably because Curry was a healthy Chris Paul away from missing the Finals. That might be why

Yeah. I actually think Curry's total stops at 3. I don't think GSW is winning again this year. The competition at the top is close and their margin for error isn't so big; they could easily have fallen to Houston this year.  They've also had a run of very good fortune with injuries - their own and others'. At some point they catch a bad break.  I take the field against GSW this year. [And if I remember, I'll pull this post out in June next year, one way or another.]

The year after that I'm not sure they can afford to keep their core together.

That all may be true, though I suspect the Warriors win again, but I believe Lebron gave up on winning another title when he went to LA.  I don't think he gets another one.  And I really don't see Irving as all that likely to end up with at least 3 more that it would take to pass them up.  So maybe there is a tie at 3, but I really think Curry gets at least 1 more and that gives him the nod.

"...LeBron gave up on winning..." - Nice to hear how his fans think of him.

Oh he will still give it his all, but he isn't winning a title in LA without drastic roster changes that may or may not happen.  I mean Jordan gave up on winning titles when he played for the Wizards.

Yes, he did. In his 40ies.
And after dominating the league two times in a row.
LBJ stuck his tail between the legs and went west at the age of 33.
But let's be real, let's say he plays 20 years total - that's 5 more years.
Assuming he doesn't win another, as we both do, isn't 3/20 titles kind of underachieving for a "king" of basketball?
I feel like Kawhi, AD and P. Pierce etc. would win 3/20 with 2 Allstars beside him in 7 (prime) of those 20 years.

Curry. 

I don't see LBJ winning another title in the forseeable future & I think it'd be tough for Kyrie to exceed Curry especially when I think GSW probably has more more left in them.

Maybe Durant by the time it's all said and done. I could see him leaving Curry and GSW when the run in GSW is over and go someplace where he will win more.
