how did the other legends earn their rings?
you didn't realize jordan had two hall of famers like pippen and rodman? or the best coach?
how about magic having kareem and worthy?
or bird having mchale and parrish?
it amazes me how lebron is supposed to be the only player to win all by himself, it's not his fault nobody wanted to go to cleveland back in 2010

Good God! Are you guys that fucking stupid?
Jordan was the superstar. The Bulls drafted Pippen who eventually matured into a great player. They got Rodman (a role player who didn't score) to replace Horace Grant...who they drafted.
The Lakers had an aging Kareem. They weren't a great team so they had a #1 pick and drafted Magic. They later drafted Worthy who eventually developed into a great player.
The Celtics drafted Bird, traded for Parish (who up to that point hadn't been great), and drafted Mchale. Bird was great from day one, the other two eventually developed into great players.
Do you see the pattern?
Now. Can you not tell the difference between teams making smart moves, drafting the right guys and developing players... and what Lebron did? Twice. Jumping to greener pastures, Twice. Playing GM and conspiring with other established all-star players, each one the #1 option on their own team. Creating top heavy teams, often playing for less than their full market value in order to circumvent the intended restrictions of the salary cap. Putting themselves in a position where they have an overwhelming talent advantage over the entire league. Twice. Are you that simple minded that you can't make a distinction between these two methods of forming a winning team? Lebron James himself, out loud, in his own words identified this kind of behavior as ring chasing. When he realized he wasn't going to win in Cleveland he did it anyway. when he realized the window in Miami was closing, he did it again.
Cheap fucking rings, borderline cheating, diminished legacy. Period.
