Lebron doesn't belong in this discussion.

Agreed. I'm not sure how Lebron even gets mentioned at this point in time. Perhaps 15 years from now such a claim could be made if he has a Jordan-esque type of run with championships, but considering the guy hasn't won any championships outside of high school or redefined the game, I'm at a lost as to why he is being mentioned.

Maybe because he has some the most incredible athletic abilty anyone has ever seen. And because he's one of the most recognized athletes in the entire world.

And if he doesn't win anything who is going to remember his name in 50 years? Names like Owens, Nicklaus, and Brown are and will still be talked about 50 years and more after their careers. James is not in this category yet.

I also wonder, if James does win multiple championships in the future, but say they are for New York and not Cleveland, does he still make Ohio's list?
