I hate Lebron. Hate him.
Having said that, I've been thinking about this GOAT conversation a lot this past month, reading things, etc. @"ItsGoTime" and someone else, @"dirkfansince1998" maybe, sparked this interest with the talk about Bill Russell earlier.
I think it's pretty clear that the best player of each NBA era is the following list:
Bill Russell
Kareem Abdul Jabar
Michael Jordan
Lebron James
So, imo, there's your top tier of all time players. Of the players I've seen with my own eyes enough to judge, I'm partial to Jordan, but I also have a significant anti-LeBron bias due to my intense hatred of his personality.
In reality, it's getting more difficult to argue against him for the best of all time every year. Sad but true.
