NBA Players That Would Have Been Elite At Any Height

[Premeditated]

What? Lebron has an ungodly high IQ, is an amazing passer, an amazing finisher, etc. How would he not be great?

He won't be top 10 all time great. Great enough to be first ballot HOF and top 30 all time at most.

This forum would be a lot better if people could acknowledge they don't like a player but also acknowledge said player is fukking amazing.

That's maturity.

"I don't like LeBron James, but he's incredible at basketball."

It's not that hard friends.

this thread aint about that though. at 6'4 Lebron James impact would be around Jason Kidd level. nothing wrong with that just an observation

 

[Flex Grossman]

A prime Jose Calderon

I think more like a half speed Steve Nash

LeBron James is stronger, more athletic, a better shooter and a better finisher around the rim.....

the handle though

 

[knickscrusaderm]

the handle though

would be more fluid if he was shorter (closer to the ground)...

not everyone is gonna have kd's fluid handle at 6'8+. he's the exception, not the rule.

Klay Thompson. A 6'4 Klay is JJ Reddikk with defense
I think a shorter Blake Griffin would be a pretty good small forward
A shorter Joe Johnson with some added speed could be a problem too

If Kobe was 6'0 he'd be back in Italy playing basketball

 

[Dwight Howard]

If Kobe was 6'0 he'd back in Italy playing basketball

He still would have been an elite scorer but probably less efficient and shorter prime cause he couldnt rely on post game

I dont think dirk would be elite anything under 6'8

Same. I have a hard time thinking any big man would be elite under 6'8. That's just me tho
