BOSTON -- There are those who place legacy in columns, scratch the bottom-line report a total in accounting fashion.
And there are those who are willing to work in areas of gray, in terms of nuance and circumstance.
Some will say that Michael Jordan won six titles and Kobe Bryant won five (Bill Russell won 11 but is somehow usually not included in the counting discussion) and LeBron James has three and that's that.
Perhaps so, indeed in the column that is that.
But for those who entertain perspective, James did something in this postseason that deserves to be recognized and hallowed.
