For years I would have been taking your position in this argument.  And, at times, I still look at LBJ and think "that is the 2nd greatest player I've ever seen".  The fact that he hadn't won a championship didn't bother me because MJ himself probably couldn't have won with those Cleveland teams.  I laughed when people made the Kobe argument - to me it wasn't even close. 
 
But...after watching last years finals I don't know what to think.  In the 4th quarter of game 6...quite simply...HE DIDN'T WANT THE BALL.  I'm not one to think that the superstar has to take every shot, but he has to make his presence known, he has to TRY.  He can't catch the ball at the top of the key with 5 secs left on the shot clock and quickly give it up to a well covered Mike Bibby.  Can't happen.  He has to somehow try to  impose his will on the game.   We'll see how he does next time they get in that situation...but for now i've knocked him down a peg (which i'm sure hurts his feelings).
