LeBron James Vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: A Statistical Comparison

#2 NBA championships and seasons

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar clearly has double the number of Championships LeBron has, as the latter finishes his 15th season in the league this year. LeBron has been running after rings and superteam collabs ever since he stepped foot in the NBA in 2003 and has managed to fill 3 of his fingers with title rings till date, winning two of them with the Heat (2012 and 2013) and the latest one being the iconic comeback from 3-1 down against the Warriors in 2016.

Kareem's NBA titles are well spread out throughout his 20-year long career, the first coming in 1971 with the Milwaukee Bucks and the last (sixth) gracing his palms in 1988. Kareem won 2-NBA Finals MVP on his memorable six title runs whereas LeBron won the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award every time his team won the NBA Championship.

In his 15th season, LeBron does not look like he's stopping anytime soon as he averaged 32.4 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists before finishing as a finalist for 2017-18 NBA regular season MVP award. He will clearly play more seasons and will continue to match the great Kareem in fields left untouched.
