So you also agree with Scottie Pippen etc that came out and said Kobe wouldn't be as good in their era?Do you nikkas actually PLAY basketball? Not watch but actually play the sport(in real life)
GP is right. It dont matter how big lebron is, them nikkas in the 90s and 80s put EVERYONE on they ass.
You nikkas up in here talking like Lebron was really finna be runnin over nikkas like Dennis Rodman
It's more than just being big. Lebron is big, but he isnt tough, I guarantee you if someone put him on his ass one time, that would throw his whole game off.
Sorry STANS, but lebron isnt driving to the whole 15 times a game in the 80s or 90s.

Change is inevitable...
This is all I'm trying to say. It goes both ways. LeBron is more physically gifted than anyone from the 80's and 90's but the game was played a lot more physical ANDDDDD in the 90's dudes were'nt on this buddy buddy shyt that they're on nowDo you nikkas actually PLAY basketball? Not watch but actually play the sport(in real life)

People like Rodman, Barkley, Zeke, they would not have given a fukk. They'd be like yeah you gonna boom it on me but you gonna catch this elbow to the sternum too...
You can't even play like that anymore and when you try it'll be all over Twitter and Youtube and ESPN making the matter even WORSE because yes the league has gotten softer in the past 20 something years. It's a lot less physical. The things that get foul calls in 2013 would be some "good hard basketball" in 94. shyt man just go to Youtube it's not like the clips are in some magical location.
So the question is...would Bron turn it up in response or just "deal with it" and persevere? Because in the 90's era them refs woulda looked at him with the
because back then the things Lebron might have complained about would be like 
Dumb n!gga, a lot of people in the NBA today can shoot. Korver can light it up from everywhere. I seen him play and practice but in today's NBA, no way he can get 20 ppg with 50 fg%. In the 80's, that n!gga is dropping 25ppg with over 50fg%. Look at how space this n!ggas have:

If n!ggas in today's NBA had a lot of space like in the 80's, they would light it up like n!ggas in the 80's. The lateral quickness and length is inferior compared to today's NBA.
Who of relevance has KG ever gotten to? Who has he ever worn down? 
Rodman is one of the greatest head games artists ever. KG is just a nikka who mean mugs and talks a bunch of shyt. 
No comparison.
Show me proof, this is like some unproven crap fools say to defend something that is flat out not true.A bunch of fukkin nostalgic retards in this thread..Never mind the fact players these days have better training equipments, which means..they are stronger, faster, etc.
Zone defense trumps that little hand checking rule yall dikkride here.
Reddikk would average 25 back then..stop it.

Works both ways nikka. If the players from the 80's had the same workout regimens, tools and HGH they would have been bigger and quicker also..
That's true. Never denied that. That's why I think ear arguments are dumb. If Wilt played today he'd be a 7'1 freakish athlete with access to modern workouts and nutrition. Same Russell and many other greats. You can't just pluck a player from his era and throw him in another. If a guy changes era's he is gonna be impacted by that era and the greatest players would have very little trouble adapting.
Pippen would have been thrown out for this in today's game. Back then they gave him a technical and kept it moving.

The guys that Rodman played against have said he used to say and do things to try and throw people off of their game.
What in the hell does any of this have to do with perimeter players these days living in the paint?
People like Mullin, Miller, Drazen, Hornacek were GREAT jump shooters. They shot over 50%, but they weren't doing it by driving to the basket every play. Did you even watch basketball back then, or just go by stats?
The point is, Lebron would've had to be better from the perimeter alot sooner. Even Michael Jordan had to develop his mid range game.
It is impossible with today's length and lateral quickness to just shoot over 50% in terms of FG%.
Those players are all shooters and that is correct, what the point was the shooters had space in the 80's and today they don't have much space at all unless they can't shoot the rock.

Who the fukk is knocking LeBron James down? Dude is the same size as Karl Malone. 
GP was always one of the GOAT trash talkers though.

Show you proof of the question that I just asked that you are ducking?
You proposed that KG was a better head games artist than Rodman. How then is the burden on me to demonstrate Rodman's superiority when you made the assertion about KG? 
Where is the proof for KG?
