Dennis Rodman: "LeBron James would be ‘average player’ in late ’80s or early ’90s"

[Broke Wave]

Lebron wouldn't be an average nikka but he wouldn't be as good, don't be stupid... and PLEASE stop comparing him to Jordan PLEASE

 

[Optimus Prime]

I wonder if Jordan got any criticism from oldheads back in his heyday.......

Yep, talk to any of those old dudes like Oscar Robertson or when Wilt was alive. They hated on MJ the same way...

Jordan had it worse. Only cats that liked him were Magic and Bird. Dr J never praised Jordan when he was playing. Never did Kareem as well. I remember these neggas praising Malone over Jordan



I appreciate the ammo they giving Bron Bron though

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Try top 3.

At what? Being a loser in the finals? I guess joining Wilt and Jerry isn't such a bad thing.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

When his career is finished he'll be in the discussion, yes

Based on what exactly?

 

[Mook]

Word.

You got white boys like Drazen Petrovic, Chris Mullin and Tom Chambers making the all-nba first team, but we are suppose believe Lebron would be a scrub?

So now we're disrespecting mullin for no reason? You fakkits have no shame.

Dead at Vinny Johnson's face

@3Rivers smiley that bro

Only children will disagree with Rodman.

Or how about those of us who aren't idiots? Whether or not you like LeBron, how can you OBJECTIVELY watch his game and truly believe he'd be average in any era? Just because many still believe Jordan is better than LeBron (as do I) doesn't mean Bron is trash, dude would be a top 10 player (at POSSIBLE WORST) in literally EVERY era, how the fukk does that equate to average?

Maybe because the way he gets his points now wouldn't be available back in the 90's. The league is soft as hell now, he wouldn't be able to get the majority of his points driving to the basket like he does now. His shooting is horrible also.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I watched sports in the 90's. You're making this shyt out to be WAYYYYY more than what it was.

That's your opinion.Cool


IMO...The game is bigger, faster(not game speed, but player speed), and stronger than it was back then


But it's a hollow bigger, faster, stronger.



Bron has a high IQ for today's standards, but his IQ would be seen as basic and average back in the 80's/90's


Game planning, strategy, and fundamentals 80's/90's>>>>>present day


The overall mental acuity of the game was more potent.A natural part of a players pedigree

Breh, we can play this game of ifs, ands, or buts all day. But anyone who TRULY believes that LeBron would be an average player in any era shouldn't be taken seriously, you can say he wouldn't be as good or whatever you want, but AVERAGE?

 

[CaughtInTWebb]

It's a cycle brehs.....
The older generation hates on the newer generation....
shyt is just going to keep happening....


But in all seriousness this shyt is stupid, like someone said before if Bron would've grew up in the same time as the player in the past did, with the same measurements and freakish athletic ability then he'd still dominate....

Rodman been drinking to much....

Yeah, he'd be above average of course, but he wouldn't be a referred to as a basketball god like he is now.

 

[FreshABM]

While i think Rodman is going overboard but think about this..Roy Hibbert had him shook of attacking the lane..Roy fukking Hibbert.

I was just thinking about this the other night.....

Roy fuccing Hibbert dominated the heat and had lebron SHOOK

Meanwhile do you know how many HOF centers Jordan shytted on??

Jordan stopped dudes from getting rings their whole career...HOF's left the game "RINGLESS" cuz of this dude Jordan

Jordan retired because he became bored of winning championships
tried another sport...came back...and won a chip that very year






Lebron??

 

[Bruh Man 5th Flo]

Alot of MJ era players really don't like or respect Lebron. The hell he do to them to keep thier hate so strong?

become better than them.
