Bron stans been coppin' pleas since 2009, can't be Lebron's fault right? :mjgrin:

The 09 Lakers would stand a better shot than these current Cavs just because they had more length in the front court and more overall depth.

The 01 Lakers (even with their lack of depth) would crush the the warriors though. Prime Shaq and Kobe entering his prime would be too much. Kobe was also still an elite perimeter defender at that time.

Come on now. 2001 Lakers are on another level.

Only the 96 Bulls are seeing em.

The best players of that era are better than the best players of today.

2009 Top NBA Players vs 2017 Top NBA Players

1. 30 year old Kobe > 32 year old LeBron
2. 24 year old LeBron > 28 year old Durant
3. 27 year old D-Wade > 28 year old Westbrook
4. 25 year old Carmelo > 27 year old James Harden
5. 23 year old Chris Paul > 29 year old Steph
6. 30 year old Dirk > 25 year old Kawhi
7. 23 year old Dwight Howard > 24 year old Anthony Davis

Straight down the board the top players in 2009 were better than the top players in 2017. The only difference was back then only the Celtics teamed up to form a superteam and all those guys were old. They weren't in their primes like the Warriors.

2008-09 top players shyts all over the top players in 2016-17.

Current KD and Lebron > 09 Kobe

Saying Melo that year was better then current harden just shows u dont know what the fukk u talking about.

Kawhi averaged the same about of points as Dirk did in 2009 but with elite defense and the spurs were more successful...but Dirk was better right?:francis:

You're retarded:hhh:

It's like when they hopped on the KD train 5-6 years back without even noticing that he racked up as many MVP awards, twice as many scoring titles as Kobe and led the league in points scored another season while playing half as many seasons :mjgrin:
