knock his fukkin teeth out like he did dirk...dirk still has 2nd thoughts bout goin the hole...n karl been out the league for 8yrs

Don't get me wrong about Bron.He would still beast, but it would be much harder.Today nikkas get coughed on and its a foul.He couldn't pull a lot of shyt he does now on some of then older players.Even Pippen wouldn't allow this shyt to happen to him.

There were more fouls called back then than there are now.

Second, Pippen allowed Mash to destroy him. I'm most certain Bron would use his heavier 40 pound frame to do the same.

Grant hill and Penny Hardaway used to abuse Pip, just imagine what Bron would do

The fukk does Tony Parker have to do with LeBron? :wtf:

You really have no point. Physicality has nothing to do with this discussion because LeBron is bigger and stronger than everybody who's ever played his position. He's getting to the rack at will regardless.

Hit him when he comes through the lane? Ok, buddy. You hit LeBron coming through the lane lol. If you do, I guarantee you won't volunteer to do it again on the next play.




This whole thread is absurd. GP just doing what he does best: talk shyt. His words don't mean anything though. It's complete bullshyt.

are you stupid? lol this dude here asking what tony parker has to do with the discussion (it has everything to do with how easy it is to score in the paint, so much so that a 6' guard can be top 5 in a league with no real centers)
then starts talking about I should foul lebron. :heh:

you here defending lebron like he shat you out of his womb, putting words in other people's mouths talkin bout i said lebron wouldn't "Be able to take the abuse"

go back to school you retard n learn basic reading comprehension :smugbiden:

No dumbass, Tony Parker has nothing to with it. His ability to score in the pain has nothing to do with LeBron.

Tony Parker could be hurt if someone fouls him hard. LeBron won't be phased.

Your argument is weak as fukk because you're comparing a 185 pounder to 260 pounder as if those 2 driving to the hole creates the same scenario. :russ:


And I'm not even saying I don't get what you're saying, because I do. You're saying interior defense is weaker and using Parker as an example. Fine. I get that.


BUT, :lolbron: is not Tony so while Tony may have had trouble doing what he does now back then, that doesn't relate to LeBron who's like 3x his size. :hov:

Pitiful argument. Pretty fukking retarded actually but let's keep it PC and just call it stupid as fukk. :yeshrug:

This is such a dumb argument. LeBron takes every OPEN jumpshot the defense gives him. That means any other jumpshots would be BAD shots.

So basically your argument is Melo and them take more bad shots than LeBron. Guess that's why LeBron's FG% is higher, PER is higher, he wins all the MVPs and plays for the defending champs.

It all makes sense now. :ohhh:
Don't worry my G, I wasn't serious with it. Of course it's a dumb argument - 99% of what @FreshABM said was stupid. I was getting my:

on.

Just seeing how long it'd take for him to realise. :shaq:

players in the 80s and 90s got away with more sht than they could now. case and point, i dont think malone was ejected for knocking out david robinson with that elbow, but jj barrea gets a flagrant 2 for being 5'2 and pushing ray allen :childplease:

lebron would still be good, he would just get the sht fouled out of him a lot more making him think twice about driving and scoring against actual centers in the lane would be harder than scoring against some fukkboy like nikola pekovic

Maybe you're hard of reading. But you clearly put Mashburn lacking one or two things from making him as good as Lebron. That was dumb.

IF Mash was abusing Pip in the post, you somehow think Bron doesn't have the mental fortitude to do the same and to be even more productive.

People like you and GP manufacture the belief that a "hard bruising foul" was an every game occurrence back in their day when clearly they were far and few between.

What is it about older heads, who I am myself, that really think "their day" was so much better or tougher that they can't fathom that niqqas today can be outright better?

Back in the day black folk used to preach for the youth to do better. Now, we rather say they're lesser than and will recreate the past in order to do so. And that's where you're at.

So at the end of the day, your faux psychologist theories on the mental toughness of a great player in today's game not being able to do the same if not more 20 years ago is just bullshyt. You can print out "I"m an online psychologist!!" on a MS Word document, get some tape and paste it over your computer, and I'll tell your dumb ass that you're still not qualified.

And thats from one Ol world Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn niqqa to another playboy.

hard of reading?? :russ: dumb nikkas :dead:

You were in hs in 89?? You old mothafucca you :smugbiden:

explains your corniness The Black Rebel :russ:

Once again your twisting shyt with no quote..:umad:

Never said Mash is lacking 1 or 2 things stopping him from being better than Lebron..........So I'm not responding to that again...

So old and can't even find his points :snoop:

Tony Parker leads the league in scoring in the paint.......It isn't that hard to score in the paint nowadays no matter your size....as long as you can get there...point blank...

Nerd nikka I could give a fucc if you some "ol world Franklin ave" nikka...

You wasn't one of those Ol world nikkas about that life soooooo why you trying to reap the glory???...Stop it...think cuz you shouting a block that means something...You supposedly from brooklyn ..then you should know no1 gives a fucc...who the fucc are you..what work did you put in......I'm sure your name rings NO BELLS...
You a nerd...stay in your lane.............LAME
