Does the amount of Teams he played for hurt Lebron's legacy?

[___Rand___]

Bron's legacy is that he's played as well as he has this late in his career. He's contributed to the league's brand-building by being a clean controversy-free family man all those decades he's played. He's a one-off and that's his legacy.

Do you have Jordan above Lebron?

I really don't like ranking historical players because it's so unfair when looking at different eras. I personally hold Jordan in higher regard despite his egotistical ways.

Of course it hurts him to some degree. It definitely hurts KD's legacy.

Honestly, Bron is really lucky that the new CBA is going make it harder for guys to win mutiple rings. Because if someone like Shai or Wemby win 2-3 rings with the teams that drafted him then people will start to look at Bron's resume differently.

Being too dependent on a front office for success hurts a player's legacy. That's one reason why guys like Duncan, Curry, and Jordan have less favorable legacies in comparison to LeBron.

On what planet does Jordan have a less favorable legacy than James. At they very best you can say their legacies are equal.

It's okay if a player plays for multiple teams and even more impressive if you can lead multiple teams to multiple titles (which LeBron has done)

The problem will always be forming the Super Team in Miami; forever a black eye in his career and forever frowned upon by fans and peers and anything he did there will always be seen as something less (although he did perform to his standard there).

The way the question is framed, you'd think he was some sort of journeyman.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. Other than the outliers who really hate the guy, most people have him as the 1st or 2nd best player of all time, while some may have him 3rd behind Jordan and KAJ. And for those like me who have him 2nd of all time behind Jordan, I doubt his team hopping is a huge factor. It's just that people honestly do think Jordan is the best basketball player they've ever seen. How can one's legacy be hurt when he's pretty much acknowledged as one of the best players of all time?

LeBron's legacy is more favorable IMO (the difference is small though). You're entitled to have a different opinion than mine.

Yeah, I get it, it's subjective. Still, "legacy" tends to be a popular consensus opinion. And your opinion is easily a minority one. I mean, I'm sure there are some who think that Kobe has a better legacy than Jordan, and they are entitled to that opinion, but it's one not many people hold and therefore doesn't really impact either's legacy all that much.
