You probably don't know the meaning of Killer Instinct;
Bill Russel won 11 rings,
Tim Duncan won 5
Magic Johnson won 5
Larry Bird won 3.
All these guys won leading their respective teams.
Lebron is yet to do this convincingly
So killer instinct means winning many rings?
Well then I don't feel bad for Lebron
- Oscar Robertson, Julius Irving, Clyde Drexler only won one title
HaKeem Olajuwon, Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, Isaiah Thomas etc only won two.
Technically Kobe only won two since the other 3 were won by Shaq
Yet they are considered all time greats.
And If I had to pick a team of 5, Bill Russell would never be in my starting line-up. And I would pick Lebron over Larry Bird
Many of these guys you say won leading their teams had very good players around them.
- Magic had Kareem and James Worthy
- Bill Russell had almost all the best NBA players around him
- Tim Duncan had David Robinson, Manu, Sean Elliott and Parker
Bird had Mchale and DJ
Meanwhile Lebron carried some very bad Cleveland teams to the finals
