Stephen A Smith said Lebron is better than Bird about 15 months ago

If LeBron played in the 80's the physicality would affect him too much mentally. The "bad boys" would have taken his soul and had him shook.

He' would retire after getting close lined with his one trick head down attacking rim.

This thread is full of important and thoughtful analysis.

If he played in the 80's he would have grown up playing physical ball. Nikka would break skinny ass Rodman in half.

Clotheslined by Laimbeer with Rick Mahorn/ Rodman following up with the people's elbow.

So we saying Bron aint better than Bird now? Ok

lmao. LeBron isn't mentally tough enough to have played back then. This is the same dude that asked security to remove a fan for making noise during a free throw. This is the same dude that literally broke out in tears because he couldn't shoot well during a game when he had to wear the sleeve jersey's.

If Lebron played in the 80s/90s, not to mention the east back then was bEASTly, his game would have been good but nothing more than a Larry Johnson/Anthony Mason hybrid.

They averaged like 120ppg in the 80s.

Just because you saw 4 or 5 Youtube clips of guys getting clotheslined doesn't mean that's how they were playing 24/7. Jesus christ I hope you were being sarcastic. A freak like LeBron would light the 80's up and have every record known to the league.

LeBron is literally bigger than everyone on that Pistons team.

LeBron in the 80s would have been getting 40/15/10 every night or some dumb shyt like that.

 

[Dr. Fauci]

The reality is if he played in the 80s...he wouldve adapted and evolved just like all them mothafukkers and played to that style, and wouldve dominated.

Its not his fault he plays in this era


His jump shot is still but he wouldve been the man back then too..lets not kid ourselves

you're making the same fallacy everyone else does, that LeBron would be the same person mentally if he grew up in the late 70s/early 80s. You gotta remember this was during the Iran Hostage Crisis and then Reagan's Reign of Alzheimer's Terror and the days before high speed internet. Completely different world, we would all be completely different people in another era.
