Gary Payton: "Lebron Wouldn't be as good in our era"
- Thread starter Street Knowledge

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 arewhen 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
how do consider him in an elite catergory of all time great players but at that the same time say he would struggle..
Shawn Kemp was a "freak" player in Gary Payton's "era" and LeBron James is way better!!!
LeBron James as constructed today would destroy teams of the 80's and 90's. If he was born to that era, he would not exist because he would have been handcuffed and been a PF.

what makes him bytch made ??????i dont understand
It's a fabricated reason that nikkas use to hate on him because they really have nothing else left. He's got a ring. He's got a postgame. He's got a J. He plays D. He's making clutch plays. So all that's left is just to make up personality traits to hate.

never said he would struggle overall ..find the quote for me that I said he would even struggle?? I know I said have a harder time...and less effective driving.....
unless once again your not comprehending shyt and just making up what you want to hear......
Lebron would of been great regardless ..but to the extent he is now?? Just running into the paint all day...He would of took more bumps and once again like I said earlier would of had a harder time finishing in the paint......which is basically his money spot

I don't like LeBron because he's a goofy clownass nikka. But there really no point in denying his greatness. I

What nikkaz don't realize that while Lebron a freak of nature in todays game filled with super athletic players, imagine how it would be back in the day. I think Lebron would be less efficient, because they could put more pressure on him, but I still think he would average 20 plus a game.
Also, his defense would be better. A lot of people say, defenders can put a body on him, hand check, and be more physical. Realize that this also means he would be more physical with them on the defensive end as well. He would still be the strongest and fastest player on the court.

See how so many jumped on this sheep! If Lebron James can't play I that
Era he's basically saying noone from this era circa 2003-2013
Could compete in the past which is idiotic and ludicrous

Bruh we can agree to disagree....but as you just said he would've been great regardless of when he played..which is my point...he would still be beating guys up and down the floor, would still be able to get to the paint and shoot over or go thru guys..6'8 265, 4.5 speed, 40 inch vertical is NOT normal...and lil more physical contact wouldn't have an effect on that

While I agree with everything you say. But Lebron would have a lot harder time in the paint back when the refs wouldn't foul you for breathing on a person.
So he might've not been as good like 0.5% less good, but still better than anyone besides MJ23.
