So to the question will a ring really define The King? Absolutely not Lebron has definitly left his mark in the NBA so far breaking multiple records along the way he is even still in the prime of his career.  Lebron has defined himself as a great without a title so far and will do so even if he never gets one.  Not even a role reduction in Miami will not come close to denting Lebrons armor as a NBA great.  Alot of people who don't like Lebron is because of his decision to leave Cleveland or because people claim his to be "better then Jordan"  even without a title.  Many players have rings and simply sat on the bench or played a minute of the game and do not truely deserve a ring even i could sit down on the bench and watch my team win the championship and wear a ring i didn't deserve.  Over time though many NBA great haven't won a title and still are hall of famers such a Stockton and Malone the dynamic duo of the Utah  Jazz back in the 90's who were also quoted "the Batman and Robin of their time".  Shawn "Reign Man" Kemp of the Seattle Supersonics, George "Iceman" Gervin, Allen Iverson, Pete "Pistol" Maravich, Steve Nash, Reggie Miller (was all time 3 point scorer until last year), Patrick Ewing, and Charlies Barkley.  All these players left their marks in basketball history weather they are hall of famers, future hall of famers, record holders, ex-record holders, or even future record holders they all have one thing in common they never had a championship but will forever be remembered in basketball.  So a "ring for the king" is not needed because a championship holder or not nobody can deny that Lebron will forever be a game changer and NBA future great.
