Gary Payton: "Lebron Wouldn't be as good in our era"
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
Lebron would have still excelled in the late 80s and 90s if he played then. They couldnt stop a young athletic Jordan without resorting to cheap shots. What would they do with someone about as athletic with like 3 more inches of height and 60 more pounds of muscle on him. Yeah he would have went to the ground sometimes but a lot of great players would have gotten posterized as well.

Oh, and lets not forget that there was NO ZONE DEFENSE allowed back then. So all these teams with defensive weaknesses wouldn't have that crutch to rely on vs. Lebron
He would have dominated the mid and late 90 just off the fact that he is much better than everybody including the player who was much better than everybody at the time in MJ. Lebron is just the best Basketball player since KAJ and in the league with Wilt and Bill as well.

You also wouldn't see guys running for their fukking life to get out of his way during fastbreaks.
Lebron is 265. They are getting out the way or getting posted. Are some you guys retarded or just stupid AF?

Change is inevitable...
Bron gets a lot of foul calls on BS breh
He did jazz hands like he was on Broadway. Show me where any point of Chandlers body connects with the back of Brons head. Oh lemme guess the whiplash of him not really crashing into Tyson at all caused it. There's really no need for the captain save em. He is the best player in the league right now. But call a spade a spade.

Dudes get blindsided very hard by big dudes, they usually go down. That's physics stupid.
No one has been as good as KAJ in the last 30 years other than Lebron. Don't give me that Michael Jordan bullshyt either. This isn't about selling shoes or excitement, this is about Basketball.
D-Wade is MJ lite, of course he would dominate but he would not be top 3 like he is today. Saying not sure about D Wade is showing you don't know a damn thing about Basketball. Don't be the idiot saying 2 times 2 is 5 to be different.

Google Kevin McHale's weight and height and google Kevin Durant's weight and height and tell me why Durant wouldnt be great in any other era?
Gary Payton is buggin..
These dudes act like Bron wouldn't impose his will on Derrick McKey, Byron Houston and Richard Dumas..

Yeah ok if you say so. I have said many times that Kareem may be the greatest ever over Jordan. But lets not act like guys Magic and Bird and Duncan and Kobe dont have a legit argument.
