Karma is tricky that's true.
If you get into an educated debate with someone, most will agree that it is not just about rings. Kobe had Shaq, Magic had Kareem/Worthy, Bird had McHale/Parrish. I think it is more about individual performances in the playoffs, and some kind of playoff MVP always helps a player's legacy. You don't necessarily need more rings than player X.
I'll rephrase myself.
Jordan never had a postseason like the one James had in 2009. So it goes both ways, part of the evening out over a career (outliers). I think he'll be fine but there needs to be less of an emphasis on MPG and the regular season in general. If possible practice a lot less intensely, sort of like Kobe. Play 36 MPG like Wade did in 2009-2010. As for D-Rob I think people know he didn't have the cast to make multiple title runs, there's a smaller margin for error. Based on the supporting cast one has I think things will even out.
