LeBron on Ring Culture: "I don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport and why it's the end-all, be-all of everything. You tell me Iverson, Barkley, Nash weren't f**** unbelievable? They can't be talked about with these guys because they won rings? It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has 1 ring. Or telling me Dan Marino isn't the greatest slinger of all time. Barry Bonds never won a World Series, and you can't sit here and tell me that he's not the greatest baseball player to ever touch a bat. Jerry West went to the NBA Finals 9 straight times and was only able to win 1. And he's the logo of the league. He can't sit here and tell me because he won one that he can't be in the same room with the guy who won 2 or 3 or 4. Why not? He's our logo!"
