If LeBron failed to win a ring in Cleveland and still left for LA in 2018, would he still be regarded as the 2nd greatest player of all time? (alien.top)

Not to take away his rings in Miami and LA, but it seems to be accepted by most people that the 2016 championship was the most important title that LeBron won (legacy wise), since Cleveland was a much smaller market and it was his hometown team. My question is, if the Cavs lost 4 years in a row to the Warriors, and LeBron left Cleveland again ringless, would there still be a strong argument for him to be 2nd all time?

that one cleveland title was like a 3peat for most other players

To fanboys maybe. Everyone else would see this as the ridiculous statement it is.

that ring is worth way more than your average ring, it shot up lebron from top 5-10, to a genuine goat candidate
