Gary Payton: "Lebron Wouldn't be as good in our era"

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

It wouldn't have been only the dudes who were guarding Lebron and hand checking him that would of gave him a problem it would of been also the numerous PF and C waiting to meet him in the paint..

If Lebron jumper is wet as shyt...what would you call Kobe jumper?? or Melo's?? or Durant's?? How about Jordan??...Those players jumpers are wet as shyt...Lebron's game is still primarily going to the hole...those other players can light up up from ANYWHERE on the floor...

Them niqqas would learn real quick about the pit falls of meeting Bron in the paint.

Lebron shoots more jumpers than he takes lay ups or dunks, all those guys have wet jumpers it just so happens so does Lebron plus hes more explosive than all them save for Mike.

Well, if Coli posters say GP is wrong, then I guess he is wrong

Lebron's jumper is not as wet as Melo..Durant or Kobe...lets just stop that.. ..your fronting....and Mike..I'm not gonna even comment on..Teams WANT Lebron to shoot..he's lost a finals shooting it..which caused him to develop a post game...meeting Lebron at the rim?? How many posters does Lebron have?? Because I constantly see him dunk when NO1 is there...
PF and C's in those days would of been GLAD to meet him at the rim...you saw Lebron almost break his leg today on a play when JR defended that alley oop...he got blessed with a foul Van Gundy had to call the refs out like stop it ..thats wasn't a foul...now if you don't think alot more of that wouldn't of happened in the 90's ..your fooling yourself

Bruh Dominique Wilkins was considered a top player during that era and his overall game is no where near LeBrons..

So does that mean AI wasn't a top player because his overall game was no where near Kobe's???

Funny you bring Dominique up..playing style wise...thats who Lebron kinda reminds me of...offensively other than his ball handling and passing skills.....

Also how many chips does Wilkins have?? or Final appearances??

Lebron and Nique played NOTHING alike.

 

[FreshABM]

Lebron and Nique played NOTHING alike.

In terms of how aggressively they try to go to the paint..thats why I ALREADY SAID minus ball handling and passing ability

 

[NYC Rebel]

"How Aggressively they go in the paint?"

You might as well say "they both dunk the ball very, very hard!!"

NOTHING about their games are similar.



I hate this site sometimes.

Um..Well they both do


but in terms of how aggressively they go to the paint and try to finish at the rim at ALL TIMES they have similarities..also just cuz you can dunk well doesn't mean you attack it the same way...their playing styles in that manner are similar

Lebron is shooting 43% from mid range same as Kobe, Melo, and Durant

They want everybody to shoot if the alternative is a layup or dunk. Would you rather Durant , Melo, Kobe, Jordan or any other player to ever play the game in history to shoot a higher percentage shot or a lower percentage shot ?

Lebron has posterized a lot of dudes ! Most is way to shook to get in his way
Ive seen niqqas run from Bron like he was waving a 45 at em.

What does that alley oop really represent it wasnt well timed or set up Lebron landed a lil funny, shook it off then proceeded to cook and
suprise, suprise a superstar gets a superstar call.

Would Lebron get fouled alot sure but he would still be strong enough ala Mike to finish the play

This is just lazy non sense posting step your game up.

@InvictusAeternusEternus using stats to fit your agenda.......


I can tell you without even going to check that those players have taken more mid range shots than Lebron and 3 pointers also...If you have to somehow try to twist stats to try and tell me Lebron has a jumper thats wet like Melo ..Kobe..or Durant ..your delusional and I'm sure the majority of ppl would disagree with you....

So a comparison can be made between Wilkins and Lebron..but I can't make a comparison between AI and Kobe in regards to being a top player but nowhere next to another top player??? Guess its hard for you to understand..

Jordan could finish at the rim..but alot of his big shots came on jumper or post fade aways ..he could do either or..Lebron can only consistently drive right now..jumper can still be streaky

 

[The_Third_Man]

lol Payton era's Boston Celtics would stop Lebron. Who? 35 year old Larry bird? Rick Fox? or Dino Radja?

Another biter back in the day type of bullshyt

 

[Scustin Trillberlake]

Lebron would fukk that Era in the ass and throw it off a bridge. They wouldn't even know how to guard/adapt to someone his size with that skillset.

....you keep talking about hand checking and a lack of jump shot would hender LeBron from being dominate in that era...I brought up Dominique because he is the poster child for driving, slashing and NO Jumper but still was considered a great, dominate and a top player during that era...but somehow LeBron, who's bigger, stronger, faster, has a better jumper, better passer,handle and overall better basketball player wouldn't be as dominate because hand checking would be his kryptonite.....

 

[Trece]

why do people hate lebron so much

I think it is because despite all his talent he is still bytchmade

your one of the worst posters on here and that says a lot. Just because they shoot more jumpers doesnt mean they have a better jumper. Lebron shoots enough jumpers (more than half his shots) at the same percentage as these other guys to say they comparable.

Mike is the GOAT Lebron is in his league though.

First off Wilkins was about 20+lbs lighter than Lebron and slower so if he could get to the hole with ease and finish so could Lebron ! Second Lebron who you just stated was a better ball handler and better passer is currently a better shooter and a better defender than Nique so you cant really compare they games at all statistically or visually for that matter outside them both being powerfull dunkers.

I wasnt commenting on your Kobe AI comparison but Kobe wasnt that much better than AI just taller niqqas really wanna slip kobe in the top 10 hard but its just not so.

Dominique in all his greatness never won a chip or made it to the finals..he was great but he's not in the Jordan Lebron Magic Kobe Dr.J discussion...
its not only about hand checking it was the play style of that era...you can believe whatever you want..but Lebrons streaky shooting ass would of had a tougher time going to the rim and finishing in the 90's...but I'm sure alot of dudes wasn't around watching that era based on these discussions..

Well if your saying Wilkins and Lebron shouldn't be compared...I wasn't the person who brought up that comparison... and my reasoning for bringing up Kobe and AI ...was just to point out that you can be a top player..but that doesn't mean anything in comparison to another top player in regards to how much better top players can be from each other once their compared...


O I really care that Invict thinks I'm one of the worst posters

I don't even know who you are when the fucc did you join the coli and looking at your coli cash ..looks like your usually wrong...

anyways your really trying to argue and tell me Lebron has a jumper on par with Melo and Durant..You used the word compareable...

How about you stop spinning shyt ..man up and face the facts

Lebron does not have a better jumper than Melo..Kobe ..or Durant...if you think otherwise based on whatever stat you want to pull out of your ass...your clueless
