Rasheed Wallace on LeBron James playing in his era“I don’t think he would be as successful as he is"

[Illin Degenerate]

So MJ needed a better team around him to win and couldn’t have without it. I want you to type, to me, the times where MJ lead his team to a series win over a better team.

93 playoffs beat knicks and suns back to back in 6 games without homecourt.

How were the Pistons not the better team at the time when they beat the Bulls three years in a row? How were the Lakers not the better team when they were the dominant 80s team? We not talking about in hindsight today but at the time in 1991. Y’all can’t help but to make bad faith arguments.

We're making bad faith arguments but you're the one pretending that 1 year, in the case of the Pistons, and 3 years in the case of the Lakers, does not make a difference in veteran teams. The 91 Pistons nor Lakers weren't better than the 91 Bulls and you know this.

Wasn’t MJ drafted to a shytty team also? The fact is Bron and Cavs were getting better and on the verge of breaking through by 2009, 2010. Bron not a grinder like MJ. MJ is mentally and competitively stronger by a mile and that’s the difference. The basketball skills is tit for tat cause they don’t even play the same position and have different responsibilities.

Imagine if your mom stayed on her knees that day. I wouldn’t have to deal with this.

So….like I said. You not winning 4 rings in the 80s and 90s jumping from team to team to team. He would’ve had to make his team into a contender and I don’t see it. Maybe he gets 1 ring.

Naw… imagine LeBron being drafted to one of those Lakers/Spurs/Celtics squads. Besides MJ, there prolly aren’t really any GOAT level players who were able to win more than 2 rings without another GOAT or multiple HOF on their squad. Bron had Kyrie, AD, Wade, Bosh. Kareem and Magic had each other and Worthy. Bird was on those stacked Celtics squads. Shaq had Kobe and Wade. Kobe had Shaq. Duncan had Pop and those great Spurs squads.

so bron could have been drafted to the lakers right out of a title the last year or the celtics after a tilte year it would have been cool right?


lebron was drafted to the wrose possible FO and team

lets just be real people wanted him to stay there and rot

Yup. If Bron was drafted to a stacked team it would be looked at better. It’s all just narratives about not not running from the grind that don’t actually have anything to do with what actually happens on the court.

You mean like the first seven years of his career? I guess that depends on if the front office actually put respectable talent around him. Not the shyt he actually played with.


Why would he not put himself into a favorable situation? As long as he’s still proving his worth as an elite player..

I’m from Cleveland and a huge Bron fan. I even rock Laker LeBron gear. It doesn’t change how good of a player Bron is, but you have to admit it’s a bad look by nature of how sports culture is. Homie changed teams 3 times. People would still be mad even if he left to go to teams that weren’t that good each time because of how good Bron is

Jordan had all this too.

 

[Leasy]

He would of been a solid player but body would of broke down earlier due to the physical nature of the league back then

 

[BaggerofTea]

Lebron would have been more dominant.

6'8, 250lbs ultra athletic 3 with the basket ball talent he possesses?

Then he can handcheck and use his size to play defense

Were either of those teams better than the bulls?

Jordan had all this too.

I said either multiple HOF or another GOAT. Pippen was the only HOF help on the roster for that first 3 Peat and he wasn’t a GOAT

.....Rasheed Wallace has always been a hater....ask E-40....

 

[SadimirPutin]

This foolishness still going...

Lebron would be putting all them dudes in the blender just the same

 

[Osmosis]

He implied it with that silly comment “name a team Jordan beat”. It’s a stupid question to ask.

The point I’m trying to prove is everytime this man didn’t have a team of superstars and killers he lost. He played a great part in engineering the superteam era than tries to play like he’s a victim. He can’t win with just a Pippen or a Gasol otherwise he wouldn’t have made those choices.

Bron at 36 won a championship on a team with one other star and a bunch of lower-tier role players but he wouldn't win in the watered down 1990s with Pippen

Pippen, just like AD, was a top 10 player in the league and the Bulls were by far the most stacked team in the league in an era without super-teams. Imagine thinking Bron wouldn't beat teams led by Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing with that Bulls roster.. Nowadays players like Miller and Ewing are on the same team. They won 60 games when Jordan retired with some dude from Italy replacing Jordan but Bron wouldn't be able to win with them
