5. Couple Nits To Pick

LeBron was in Miami 4 years, so 25% of his career with another Hall of Fame player, plus Bosh and Ray Allen (Also probably HoF)
Bosh played 79 of 82 games in James' final Heat season so his blood clot issues came after he went back to Cleveland
Irving was a top 5 guard when with James in Cleveland and Kevin Love was a multiple time AllStar
When Kobe won those other 2 titles, the next best player on the team was Gasol
While I very much like LeBron, I think you're overstating that case.
