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..
u put dennis rodman on lebron back in the 90's lebron will be like this

Ya'll got to quit being so damn retarded. Stop with this old crap being better than this crap because usually it's not. I will say this 80's and 90's centers>>> today's. 2000's and 2010's PF>>>80's and 90's PF's. 50's and 60's centers>>>everybody centers.

I actually think LeBron would be better against the physical defense. It would force him to focus and he'd actually have to exert himself...
A physical freak playing angry because the defense is beating you up, literally.
that's a scary sight...
I'm done bashing LeBron...

Them shyts aren't even remotely comparable.
Malone hit Robinson in the fukking temple with a hard elbow.
@ anybody looking at Lebron reacting in that way and saying "That's physics".

Being blind sided isn't comparable? nikka are you retarded?

I think Bron will go down as a top 3 player of all time 4 sho, but I can see where GP is coming from.
I don't think he's questioning Bron's game or physical gifts, but more like hinting at Bron's mental fortitude.
Would Bron have been mentally prepared to get butchered all serious long against the Bad Boy Pistons and still be able to hold his composure?
The IQ, fundamentals,discipline, and mental toughness of the game in GP's era>>>>
Hell, I would've loved to see Bron against the '97 Knicks....just to see how he'd react to playing against teams like that

They're not comparable because they're two completely different types of hits regardless of whether they were "blindsided" or not.
David Robinson caught a elbow from Karl Malone to fukking temple. That's why he crumpled to the ground like marionette that got it's strings cut.
Lebron got hit from behind in the in his back. His initial reaction to it was legit but him suddenly snapping backwards (which from a physics standpoint isn't gonna happen from being "blindsided like that" and falling to ground grabbing his neck was just him flopping.
If you're gonna make that argument at least find footage of a similar incident.
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.
yeah he would have but there's nobody in the middle these days, so dudes like LEbron, hell even Tony Parker can LIVE in the paint.
Lebron would still be great in the old school era, but he would've had to develop his mid-range/outside game alot faster.

Gary Payton is buggin..
These dudes act like Bron wouldn't impose his will on Derrick McKey, Byron Houston and Richard Dumas..
Dude was nice.Kinda ahead of his time as a SF, but that crack got em
Have you ever been blind sided picked in your back? Dude, stfu, I played the game. You embarrassing me right now with utter foolishness.
