Tbh 2011 finals should've ended that goat debate plus he's 3-out-of-9 in the finals and got SWEPT not once but twice, just think bout that...

@BernardMoon 3 года назад

HE'S WRONG. "69 Years of Height Evolution in the NBA" report was published earlier this year where 4,379 NBA players analyzed from its beginning. NBA players are the lightest they’ve been in the 21st century at 216 lbs. and the shortest since 40 years ago (6'6"). SO HOW CAN THEY BIGGER, STRONGER AND FASTER? This stated that the NBA is pushing across it's media partners is false. Even doesn't past the eye test when you look at centers and power forwards from the mid-90s when you had Shaq (330 lbs), Zo, David Robinson, etc. ALL were much bigger and stronger than today's centers. The research report shows every position besides the point guard has declined in height and weight over the past decade, AND all other positions are the shortest since the 80s. AND why are the highest verticals in NBA history dominated by players from the 80s and 90s? Vertical is one of the primary eye-tests and factors people use to describe how "athletic" a player is.

@Sasuke Uchiha Obviously, you didn't/don't comprehend the statement. Naming one is simply ridiculous. The entire league is just more athletic.

Andre Iguodala 6. Dennis Smith Jr. 7. Jason Tatum 8. Jaylen Brown 9. Jerami Grant 10. Miles Bridges A few big names, but mostly ppl that would be considered the 3rd, 4th or 5th go to when on the court. It could be better said as, "Athleticism is far too often defined as explosiveness or pure leaping ability. Athleticism is a combination of explosiveness, agility, lateral quickness, body contortion and stamina. These elements make up the broad term of athleticism. They’re not all weighted equally, especially in basketball." - Keandre Ashley (Medium)

“Boy we romanticize the past don’t we” I love that statement. The older players aren’t gonna give these guys credit because it takes away from their era. I know Charles Barkley would prolly dominate down low and get boards but who the heck is he gonna guard?? That’s what the older players don’t get. Is Shaq gonna chase Embid and Jokic out to the three point line?? I don’t think so.

Some of them scored significantly more before the rule change in fact. Average total scoring in the 80s and 90s was also almost identical to the 2010s, and even more scoring occurred in those previous eras. The 2000s scored far less than any of the other generations.

MJ or Magic would ball out in today’s game, lebron or KD would do the same in older eras. One man though I feel would have gotten better the farther back you go is Shaq.

Saying that LeBron James is not as good as anyone ever is akin to saying that Usain Bolt is not as fast as Carl Lewis. With each passing era, the athletes keep getting better, and better, and better.

Thank you for this Justice Colin... Shannon didn’t do so good responding to Kenny’s crazy comment

@Grimrun 3 года назад

I think cause when it comes to my boy Lebron Shannon is biased. What makes Collin awesome is that he’s unbiased even if he likes you an that’s why I value his opinion a little more than a few others.

MJ. Magic. Kareem. Then the argument starts (for me). Kareem just owned basketball for a decade+. Magic basically made the Finals every year but won much more than James.

@hectorcervantes4025 3 года назад

MJ and Kareem > LeBron. Others are arguable but those 2 are without a doubt better.

Thank you! I agree with all of this! Players nowadays are ridiculously good. Porzingis isn't really a unicorn in this league and everyone should stop and think about that one. 7' 3" center that can outrun half the league and can shoot 3's... Giannis, Lebron, Kyrie, Harden, Curry, Dame, Jokic, Doncic... these are ridiculous human beings. The top 50 in this league right now would beat any other time period. Period. Some of the players of old were great but they did not have the quantity so their competition was weak.
