James mentioned that the conversation does not exist in the same capacity in other sports, attributing Dan Marino, whom he called “the best singer of all time.”
“Barry Bonds never won a world series, and you can’t sit here and not tell me that he is not the best baseball player who has ever played a bat,” James continued. “I simply, I don’t understand where I came from. I don’t know where it started. We have to appreciate more than the boys have been able to achieve, what the boys have been able to do.”
James, of course, knew that the question largely surrounds his legacy.

“A ring is an achievement of the team. And if you have a time when you can share that with your team, that should be discussed.” This team was the best team “or” that team “. You can have those conversations.
