Recap of his achievements

James is the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and ranks fourth in career assists. He has won four NBA championships (two with the Miami Heat, one each with the Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers), and has competed in 10 NBA Finals, including eight consecutive Finals appearances from 2011 to 2018.[1] He has also won four Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, four Finals MVP Awards, and two Olympic gold medals, and has been named an All-Star 19 times, selected to the All-NBA Team 19 times (including 13 First Team selections)[2][3] and the All-Defensive Team six times, and was a runner-up for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award twice in his career.[4][5] As of October 2023, he is the oldest player in the NBA.[6]

Hakeem is a worse player on the court overall but would have one more title but significantly less achievements elsewhere and it around 9-11. Lebron should be firmly in 5-8

Lebron be placed firmly at 5 with 1 ring and 1 MVP makes no sense.

Kobe has 5 rings, 4x All Star MVP, 2x FMVP, 18x All Star, 11x All Star 1st Team, 12x All Defensive, 9x All Defensive 1st Team (most in NBA history), 2x scoring champion, 4th most points in history, 2nd most assists as a guard, and this sub for whatever reason thinks that resume isn't enough to be higher than 7 or 8, even though his resume is stronger than half the players in the top 10.

The reason is that LeBron is a much better basketball player than Kobe. But looking at your posts in this thread it seems like all you can do is run down memorized lists of awards, so of course it makes no sense to you.

To answer your question, though, teams win championships, not players. If LeBron played the same in all of those finals as in reality and his team just lost, his ranking wouldn’t change at all.
