I've been watching basketball for decades and in the context of his time I would rate LeBron right up there with the guys on your list. ESPN ranks him 3 incidentally.

LeBron is definitely one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The issue I have is the final hammer price of the item versus the relative newness of the item and the faux scarcity of the item (as opposed to, say, LeBron's only diamond-encrusted championship ring with the Cavs).

This made the news, even up here in Canada, so I think it is ultimately good for the hobby.

I am no one to judge so I have no problem if someone can afford to pay what they did for this card.

There are too many unknowns to consider before saying this was stupid wasted money.

I agree with those who suggest that LeBron will go down as one of the all-time greats. Nevertheless, I can't see this card retaining such high value.

ESPN ranked Kobe #2 and after he is retired, he is #12. It is all about hyping current players to get hits. They ranked 2 time all NBA player Steph Curry as the 4th best PG. When Lebron retires, he will be looked at as lower than most of those guys listed.

This to me was a good column. And being only 31, I expect LeBron to move up this list. I don't agree with Russell as No. 1 despite being from Boston btw.
