If Lebron James retired today is he a first-ballot hall of famer?

I think he would be as he is already at least a top-20 player in NBA history. What do you guys think?
Top 75? Come on. Have you seen his playoff stats? You can make an argument that his playoff stats are better than Jordan's. Only thing he doesn't have is the hardware. If not top-20 then top 25
And professional "James hater" Bill Simmons has him ranked exactly number 20 on 96 greatest basketball players of all time.
 
Are you kidding me? Top 20? Top 100 for sure but top 20?

But yes... He will be a first ballot HOF. So far, he "led" his team to that disastrous 2007 Finals, a couple of best NBA records, ROY and 2 MVPs. If he wins multiple titles like Mr Bubbles said, then he deserves a place in the HOF.

There are way better players than him that deserve to be in the top 20.
