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

[Taadow]

Bron was about Pip's size when he came out and from what I remember Scottie did just fine at the 3. Doubt they would have tried to make make Lebron a 4 when he had pg skills.

Scottie had PG skills, too...but he didn't play PG.

And LeBron wasn't as wiry as Pip. When he came out, he was about the size of Buck Williams. Think about that...

LOL at cats forgetting this Magic bumps the ref! - YouTube

lol Magic was heated.

thats from his comeback in 95-96, I believe.

Like Riley told Ainge earlier this season about his crying and flopping, this shyt aint new.

Superstars calls aint new

That's where the 25 and under crowd is missing the boat.


The game was wayyyy more mental/strategic/fundamentally sound back then


That being said, I think Bron has one of the top 3 IQ's in the game right now.I just wonder how he'd respond to the physicality in the 90's.It's easy to hold your composure and keep your IQ intact when you're playing in a p*ssy ass league with p*ssy ass rules in regards to physicality.


Them 90's cats was crooked.They'd come at you sidewayz and nikkaz was getting wam bammed out there.Back then, teams just had to make that assessment.You had to prove you had the gumption and fortitude to be the best.It wasn't just about being bigger and stronger than everybody else

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

And some nikkas from the 60s say Magic and Bird wouldn't have been shyt in their era

Old, washed up players always claim their eras are the best.

If anything dealing Rodman on a constant basis would somehow force to be even better than already is.

Bron was bigger, but their games were similar. They were both wing players and Bron was quicker and more athletic. No reason to think they would have tried to make him a back to the basket 4.

Lebron would have been the best SF in the game, same as he is now.

Bron has a much better off the dribble game than Pip.

I hate seeing this disease called ageism.

I"m really sick of it. Old niqqas hate young dudes.

Sad to say, this is so true, especially in the black community..

Its not just sports, its everything.

From business\politics to women and everything in between

 

[Street Knowledge]

Imagine Lebron being allowed to handcheck on defense.

 

[LeVraiPapi]

I can't believe dudes in here comparing Pippen to Lebron

I watched Pippen in his prime. No way was he even close to Wade or Bron in their prime. Rodman would have gotten torched by an aggressive Bron but he would definitely make the passive Lebron look amateur

 

[OmegaK2099]

NEW!NEW! NEW! WORLD ORDER!

 

[Metta World Movement]

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

 

[Roadie pipeher]

Imagine Lebron being allowed to handcheck on defense.

unfair add above average lateral speed...

 

[Crack Daniels]

LeBron is the same size as Karl Malone and 20x as athletic. LeBron would put Rodman in the fukking basket. I'm so sick of this argument

Yeah, that's kinda my point. Lebron is basically a bigger, better, faster, more skilled Pippen, yet cats act like 90s defense would have locked him up.
