Damn if Lebron was dropped in there, they would think he was an alien. The game has evolved so much.

If he tried to play the way your imagining he'd play he'd be benched while the coach scratches his head as to why this big athletic guy kept trying to bulldoze through people as if it were a good idea that would somehow work in his favor when to that point in time it would get you nothing but the ball turned over via the incredibly strict offensive fouling contact rules back then. That is, if he didn't get called first for either traveling or palming when trying to get tricky with his dribble - things they actually paid attention too back then. He could definitely play a dominant game back then, but he'd look a lot more like those guys then he would how you imagine he'd look. He'd be ground bound more, he'd clog the lanes more rather than drifting out 30 feet to pick up unnecessary amounts of momentum (for aforementioned charging rules). He'd take closer shots w/no 3 point line, his dribbling would be rigid due to palming violations, etc. He'd basically - by necessity of the rules and defenses back then - have to play like they play. He'd still be a dominant specimen though. But would he be a better/more alien specimen than say, Wilt - who the league was already well accustomed too? I don't know, I tend to think Wilt was a much freakier specimen than Lebron.

If the 2 bombs dropped from the Enola Gay and Bockscar on those 2 Japanese cities in 1945 contained this wealth of knowledge, Japan would be the leader of the free world today.

You'll never be appreciated breh. I missed your posts.

Check out Spencer Haywood's jam at 10:00 minute mark... I wish I had that clip in the english high quality broadcast but I only have the original english broadcast of this game in fragments

Anyways don't know if you guys noticed but there are only 5 dunks in this entire game. 2 from Wilt, 1 from kareem, 1 from Spencer Haywood, and 1 from Connie Hawkins. 9 out of 10 of these guys could certainly dunk - I have footage of almost every single all star dunking in some game or highlight from other points in their careers including the little guys like Jerry West, and at least 1 in 5 could really put on an exhibition from what I've seen - I have footage of teams like the Jazz from back then doing crazy dunks while warming up only to stick to layups once game time starts. I'm still trying to figure out why the NBA was like that back then. In the ABA games of that era each TEAM averaged about 10 dunks per game and some looked incredible. The athleticism between both leagues at the time was the same, yet there's a massive difference with how many dunks were attempted. I know the ABA influenced the NBA once they merged, and that's why we see so much dunking today. But I just can't figure out why nobody who COULD dunk DID dunk in the NBA back then. Jack Marin has 2 fast breaks where he just lays it in, I have footage of him stuffing a 2 hand putback with ease in another game. Billy Cunningham - a notorious leaper for a white dude - also layed in a fast break where he had clear opportunity to jam.

I'm still trying to figure out how much of it is because defense, or coaches, or players choice, or stricter fouling against offensive players (no "no charge" circle etc), or what the exact reasons were - what do you guys think?

I'm sorry but that was HORRIBLE to watch. None of those dudes could play in the league today. Its embarrassing that there are people who wanna act like most superstars of today wouldn't average 100 on em.
