ya'll dudes take everything and put a spin onto it..
what is so difficult to comprehend??
"He wouldn't get some of the calls he does"
Meaning = 4th quarter Lebron's team down 2...we already know he doesn't want to shoot that jumper..he going to try to drive to the paint..once he gets that contact..in other era's don't expect that whistle to come flying in to save him...now unless Lebron is the And 1 master ...he would miss some of the layups and not be rewarded with a foul.....
I didnt even read this thread....just came in to post that LeBron doesnt have the heart to dominate in the late 80s/90s where a hard foul was just a hard foul.
He would be a top 10 player of the era, but not as dominate as he is today

Why do you ignore things when your proven wrong. If Bernard King was able avg between 9fta and 10fta a couple times then why couldn't Lebron? Everyone is trying to show you that if worse players were able to avg 10 free throws why couldn't Lebron? You make it seem like it was hard to get calls back then when that's obviously not true since players like Bernard and Wilkins got to the line with relative ease.
Apparently the same guys that were "holding" 6'5" 200 lb Adrian Dantley to 30 ppg and 10+ fts on 55% shooting.

What the fucc did you prove wrong?? I don't know how much more I gotta break it down for you.. You think by comparing Lebron stats with Bernard's your proving some fuccing point?? How the fucc is your name Hooplife??
Bernard King had a money mid range and a array of offensive moves...he is not a solid comparison to Lebron ..his offensive game was different... also even tho his career was short..when he was putting up his scoring #'s he didn't win a ring..
The point I'm trying to make is Lebron..and certain other stars get bailed out by calls when they drive in this era...that wouldn't happen as often in other era's...sooo in the 4th quarter of a tight game where Lebron usually tries to drive to the paint ..he would be met with alot more contact...with no call ..which clearly would decrease his chance of making shot....but I do understand this premise is alil too difficult for you to comprehend
also just for arguments sake..if Lebron averages 7 free throws a game in a era where the game is less physical...what logic are you using that he would average more ft's in a more physical era...Please break that down for me...

The point is, if Bernard could do it, no question Lebron can. To put on some front like players back in the day had some sort of tougher exterior because the game was less legislated is pretty annoying. Bron was a MUCH better 3 point shooter than Bernard and would beast regularly in that no defense "Hands up" era of the 80's.
I just don't get yall niqqas in here.

Mash was Grant's achilles Hill too, always gave my Piston brethren problems, even in college.

The major difference now is that physical fouls then are now considered flagarant fouls...so to act like the refs didn't make phsical foul calls or just let the game go into WWE mode is just stupid...basically he would still shoot the same amount of FTs if not more...when hear older guys speak of NOT letting a guy get into paint it's more so of a warning that WE ARE GOING TO FOUL YOU HARD..it would've came down to how much punishment did LeBron want to take also how punishment did the opponents what to take...because consistently getting hit or hitting 265lbs of muscle anit an easy task...how times do you recall of guys standing in Karl Malone's way when he came thru the paint?....and you hear older guys taking about MJ getting "superstar" calls then so yes those same superstar calls would have been there for LeBron....

Lebron would be an even better player...The illegal defenses that we have in this day and age>>>handchecking. Plus allowing HIM to handcheck being the physical speciman he is would make him an awesome 1 on 1 defender. He'd prolly be DPOY. I just love it how old farts think he'd be playing the same way he plays today in their era...like he wouldnt adapt...they prolly also think ____ could play in our game and avergage 10+ more points a game.
