Goat NBA

Lebron James has 20+lbs on Pipen and on Magic Johnson during their playing years

He is not as big as Shaq, but is probably much faster and agile.

Or the East doesn't win any. LeBron would be the best player in the West too, Broh.

Not if he had to play a tougher more physically demanding Western schedule all season long.
 
Did anyone remember lebron against Dallas?

Or against Boston when he choked when he found out his teammate was sleeping with his mom?

Reports are that he had to be sedated from his teammates. I remember legends like Brett Favre playing like legends after his dad died or Brady playing like a monster when his mom was sick.

LeBron to me, mentally cannot handle the pressure.

You can't even handle the pressure of a discussion forum, Buck
 
I'm a Laker fan and consider Lebron he GOAT. I also think any of his Cleveland teams would not have even made it into the finals against the 80s/90s Celtics, Pistons or Bulls - and if they had somehow managed through plane crashes or act of God they would have been swept in the finals by the Showtime Lakers.

In the east, the Bulls, with MJ and Scottie, could easily have adapted to play small ball, and probably could win titles today. Celtics and Pistons? I sort of doubt it.

Showtime was a team that could win today, pretty much as is. In their prime, they were that good.

Agreed... the Teams were much more deep back then and physical. LeBron going down the lane against the Bad Boys or the Pacers/Knicks of the 90's?

Forget about it...

Players like Harden and LeBron benefit so much from ticky tack foul calling these days as well as travelling miles. Up to 4 or 5 steps... moving pivot feet to make it 6 or 7 steps at times... like I actually saw today in the 76ers game. Both these guys are over-rated.

I liked basketball better when it was more like football. Give me the 1980’s game over the 150-point shootouts of today, anytime. These days, teams play defense like it’s an all star game until the playoffs begin. Some guys like Harden don’t even play it then.

He's built like a tank. He easily has 20+30 pounds on Michael Jordan.

Jordan wasn't soft. LeBron cried because his mama banged a teammate and refused to play hard in a Game 7. Jordan scored 30 with a 103 degree temperature.

Agreed... I don't care about regular season games until the last 10-15 or so that determine playoff seedings.

It is just a three point shooting contest now... and it is really boring. The 80's were great and the 90's were the best era of basektball.

So you like grown men on the floor locked arm in arms fighting for the ball? What does that say about you?

That I am not a ***** like the players are today... but if that is your interpretation of basketball back then I would say you were missing a great game...
