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

[keond]

Who hell is going to out muscle bron from his era?

All players are bigger today

But he is somewhat right. The rules have changed that have given advantages to slashers. Athleticism today is off the charts. Lebron would still be a 25+ point player, but i doubt he would have that ring. Lebron is already somewhat mentally fragile. Can you see him having to go against the goons of the 90s without the protection of the refs?

NBA Goons of the 90s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Goons of today

NBA Goons of the 90s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Goons of today

By that logic, wouldn't it stand to reason that Bron would have Goons of his own? Give him an Oak enforcer type and those hard fouls might slow to a near halt. Not to mention putting him in an era with less expansion would mean more talent on his Cleveland teams. He'd be just fine.

I already said in my post he would still average 25+. He would probably have the finest goons that money could buy, but his emotional fragility would kick in knowing that he would be manhandled. Do you think he would beat the Pistons in a 7 game series when you were basically allowed to take a nikka's head off

Lmao... Lebron was a pure faggit on the court until Wade gave him a heart..

How soon yall forget.

So does that mean Mashburn would be better today?

FOH, bron would be drop 30 on 90s hams, WITH EASE.

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

If he onlt getting 7 freebies he ain't getting any calls now. Whats your argument?

This myth that 80's and 90's basketball was an all out bloodbath where no one was allowed to enter the paint without catching a piledriver has definitely gotten out of control.

LeBron is just as big, if not bigger than any of the "goons" you guys keep bringing up and 10x as athletic. How many of them do you truly believe could toss Bron around if they tried?

It's the most perplexing thing about their stance. I'm still wondering who is keeping LeBron from dominating. Bernard King was a talented wing in his short prime, LeBron is way better than he is. Who are the athletes slowing down or stopping Bron? These nikkas refuse to answer that question.

Lebron can't control the ball if u pressure him with good defense and if u defend him to hard and force him left he either pass the ball, lose the ball, or pull up and fade away a jump shot..

Apparently the same guys that were "holding" 6'5" 200 lb Adrian Dantley to 30 ppg and 10+ fts on 55% shooting.
