Gary Payton: "Lebron Wouldn't be as good in our era"

[OGmittee]

me watching old NBA games and seeing how unathletic some of the players out there were



shyt is the truth tho

What About...

Ollie The Gawd.....

Who the hell could hand check and muscle Lebron? No wing player would be strong enough to do it. You would have had to put Mailman on him, and then Lebron would have blown right past him.

 

[who_better_than_me]

I remember when Ron Artest played for Housotn, he put that 90's style defense on Lebron and Lebron had the worst game of his career. COuldnt socre and he didnt have an assist the entire game. He just bytched to the refs the whole game, but they werent hearing it.
Artest was bullying that nigguh the whole game. I wouldnt mind Artest back in Houston....

Them n!ggas from their generation weren't exaggerating, they really believe they would s**t on Hakeem, Ewing, Zo, and them like it was no tomorrow and to be honest, some of them would. They wouldn't drop 70 ppg in my opinion but they wasn't exaggerating, just being delusional. Kind of like GP, MJ, and others are acting like today. The thing is, you got game tape. The tape never lies.

Just cause they believe it doesnt mean they wasnt exaggerating but Wilt was 7'2 -7'3 and weighed like 320+ had the cordination to run hurdles and high jump at or near an Olympic level and according to Arnold Schwarzenager was one of the strongest people hes ever seen in the gym. If David Robinson could drop 70 Wilt could do it plus some. Would he average 70 with the pace of the game and better comp.. no way, but would he avg 30+pts and 15+rebs 5+blks plus 4 ast a game I think its reasonable. When you consider him being bigger, faster, stronger than any center plus he had a motor that didnt quit he would be the best or tied for the best center in the league with The Dream. Prime Hakeem vs Prime Wilt would be awesome to behold though.

all you have to do is watch some of those old games on nba tv..... if you dont think lebron would have a field day on then there is just no hope for you, youre a certified hater. like seriously if he played in the 80s it would be an absolute joke. i cant believe he brought up bill laimbeer. lebron weighs just as much as he did but 5 times the athlete. laimbeer would just end up hurting himself trying to give him hard fouls like it would stop him. lebron would lead the league in and1s and would AT LEAST equal jordans most efficient season and stats

They played at a much facer pace in the late 80's early 90's that's why scoring it up. Do you understand what pace is?

more shots = more points

So Lebron James playing at a faster pace would be less effective?

A player like Payton or Pippen would talk Lebron out his game. He's easily broken.

physically, Lebron could play in that era easily. Mentally?? he'd be a bum

EXACTLY what I been saying. And you can't perform physically if mentally youre shook.

You nikkas are bozos man. If it isn't the almighty handcheck that would shutdown Bron, its the superior trash talking. Bron wouldnt even HEAR Payton talking because he'd be too busy running through him on the way to the basket.

For real.

And to hear these niqqas mention Scottie Pippen, a dude who sat out when a play wasnt run for him and missed an entire game due to "migraines" induced out of fear of the Pistons.

HE"D mentally take Bron out of his game.



These niqqas in here are ass

Basically, Pip was getting punked by a young Kobe. Not to mention the last time somebody tried to really trash talk/get in his head this happened.

So the question still remains WHO would stop Lebron? I mean sure they would be more physical with him but is it far fetched to say that he would adjust his game a bit? I dont see why he would stop attacking the paint; his physical attributes are suited for that 'bully' style of ball. On the flipside if Lebron gets away with all the bullshyt fouls of today on the defensive side, he'd be an even nastier defender in the 90s.

LOL I love basketball fromt he 90s and all but some of these old heads need to shut the fukk up already. I swear they only talking because they threatened by the new generation.

It's amazing breh. Lebron in the 90s on defense would have the Glove supersized. NO wing player in the past or present is stronger than LeBron. Who is handchecking him? LeBron weighs as much or more than 90s big men outside of Shaq plus he is more athletic than they are. What planet are these fools from. These nikkas must be from Uranus because they keep talking out their ass. shyt is disgusting...don't ask me how

Lebron averages 7 foul shots a game..In a different era..he wouldn't get some of the calls he does..point blank..I don't know why this is so hard for you lil motherfuccaz to understand
