LeBron may have changed from No 23 to 6 to honor Bill Russell but said wouldn’t take Russell over Jordan as player

LeBron James was asked Friday at All-Star Weekend about Jordan saying he would take Kobe Bryant over LeBron as a player because he has five rings to one for LeBron. James had plenty to say on the subject: “He said he would take Kobe over me because… five rings are better than one and last time he checked five is better than one,’’ James said. “But that’s his own opinion. At the end of the days, rings doesn’t always define somebody’s career. If that’s the case, then I would sit up here and say, I would take Russell over Jordan. But I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t take Russell over Jordan. Russell has 11 rings, Jordan has six. Would I take Robert Horry (who has seven) over Kobe? I wouldn’t do that. It’s your personal opinion. Rings does not define somebody’s career… Charles Barkley doesn’t have one ring… Patrick Ewing is one of the greatest of all time (and doesn’t have one). Reggie Miller is one of the greatest of all time (and doesn’t have one). Sometimes it’s the situation you’re in, it’s the team you’re in. And it’s about time as well. I don’t play the game and try to define who I am over what guys say or what they feel about me. It doesn’t matter to me, I go out and I play for my family, I play for my coaching staff.’’
