What the hell does any of that have to do with basketball though? Those guys still got up and kept playing the game.
Act like the skinny little ballets of the 1980s could play through Bad Boy shyt, but a 270lb former All-State football player like Lebron with bionic injury-immune limbs would suddenly get weak in the knees.
The problem with this statement is thinking that lebron could play through it with no problem...where he is now playing the softest era of basketball ever...so regardless of his size...i don't see how you can be absolutely confident that a guy who now plays in a league where if you touch him it's a foul can go play in a league where rodman can come across his head AND THEN dump his ass in the front row...
look at what Lebron did when Nazr shoved him...a bunch of nothing...your "270lb former all state football player" just got shoved to the ground by a dude and he would not even move until there were players, coaches, and refs between him and Nazr...Ray Allen standing over him like he about to take a bullet from the upper deck from Bron
Now...you telling me this same dude is somehow going to play through getting yoked by Rodman, getting hip checked out of bounds by Mahorn, getting flatout punched and clotheslined by Lambeer...
...nikka was to scared to even get back to his feet over a push...
You ask "what does that have to do with basketball". Nothing
, that's the point
back then these teams could do stuff that had nothing to do with basketball to you...and as the clips i posted clearly shows...sometime your only recourse for action to get them off of you was to square up and fight...
You seem to think just cause dudes smaller than bron played through it, that bron played through it...where really it's the mental aspect that is the hardest to overcome...
It's like Zeke said...it's easy to rampage down the lane now when you know if anybody touches you it's a foul...you know if anybody touches you hard it's a flagrant and they might get thrown out and then for the rest of the game both teams shooting a 100 million freethrows...versus before...where a goon like Lambeer might just flat out punch you in the face...he might just flat out clothesline you...and if you bold enough to square up with him zeke just might come behind you and jump on your back like he did that one dude...
And you going to say "that shyt didn't happen every game they not going to fight every game they not going to clothesline somebody every game"...and you right...they not...they only got to do it once...to let you know that they WILL do it...
?
... i feel like he would dunk the ball damn near every time...
