Just minutes after Lebron James and the Miami Heat won their second consecutive NBA Championship an argument ensued very rapidly about Lebron James legacy. Some people will argue that he has now cemented his place as a top 10 player of all time while others will argue that he now a top 5 player of all time but let's not get carried away. As big of a Lebron James fan that I am even I will have to admit that his resume needs a few more accomplishments on it order to get into to the top 5 level. Although Lebron's numbers are incredible other superstars that have played the game have had a couple more accomplishment under their belts whether it's rings, MVP's, or other individual accomplishment and thus falls just barely in the top 10.
