NBA Legends Are Coming After LeBron James 

Facts

@@Terror832 was that a pun god damn 💀

Yep

@@Htiy yes that was intentional

@@Terror832 bro💀

Kobe is a guard and KD is almost 7 feet… of course Kobe would say that 🤦🏼‍♂️ Sheed and Rodman certainly could if PJ Tucker made life hell for KD in the playoffs last year. Nobody is dominating KD though, as he showed he can handle that physicality in 7 gm series. But KD has a variety of skills that allows him to play through physicality (sick cross, off dribble quickness, pull up contested Js, elite 3pt shooter). LeBron on the other hand, I think Rodman and Pippen would actually lock him up like 55 to 60% of the time bc his game really is one dimensional when it comes to scoring. Much like Giannis with slightly better J and much better passing.

@@johngriller4997 lmao. Kd averaged 35.4 10.6 5.4 in that series. Pj tucker played his best defense and was still Kd’s bitch

@@johngriller4997 who has actually locked up Giannis, really? A whole team defensive scheme was needed, nevermind his teammates selling, and you said so, LeBron has better passing so...

@@lebronjames1474 what about the 2020 win bron

@@lebronjames1474 Yea I agree the kid behind this account would be getting abused so bad all the players in that era would be arrested

Bron played in the same era as him, but one key rule was taken out once he was drafted in the league. That rule was ultimately the hand check rule, and furthermore the NBA became softer once they started implementing more rules. That undeniably made the sport soft just so the league can make more revenue through the offensive side of the spectrum.

Gilbert believes the modern era is the best. I don’t think he’s wrong, but he’s definitely taken a side.

Put Alex Caruso in that era and little Mikey is coming off the bench wearing Air Carusos

Apparently it's a tradition

Lol it’s not a skill thing, he’ was saying they didn’t let you dunk like that over and over in that era, dude woulda contested him and it wouldn’t have been a foul (unlike Jordan’s era where he took physical punishment but he got to the line every time). But wilt is right about how the game was different in his era, the nba did not favor individual scoring, it favored team ball and defense. So a lot of the things 90’s players and Jordan did, palming the ball, “backing” ppl down, etc wasn’t allowed in wilt’s era. Like y’all imagine shaq being defended by Gordon heyward when y’all think of wilt but that’s not how the era was, they were all between 6’10” and 7 ft, and you actually couldn’t back ppl down, they would have called offensive fouls. All of wilt and kareem’s points came off actual moves and shots.

Gilbert Arenas is smart on that opinion.

It’s because Gilbert isn’t blinded by biased when it comes to the game. Saying that “Oh xxx couldn’t survive in my era because *blank blank blank* “ is the same thing as saying “Player A from the 90s couldn’t survive today’s era because they don’t have the pacing or adjustments to the speed of the game.” It’s all hypothetical and impossible to say for sure if players would be successful if they switched eras.

Bruh same Gil is my guy!

@@yo5233 more so in terms that he was an all around player like lebron , but a better shooter like Durant

@@avalancher360 i thought he meant athletic like lebron

Your talking about today’s players who flop for fouls, but think they could handle the “Jordan Rules” era of Basketball? Players like Laimbeer, Rodman, Barkley & Shaq, who were known to be physical & flagrant!?! Not only did you have to be physically tough, but mentally as well. Jimmy said it his own self: LeBron would’ve been Karl Malone in that era. And how many championships did he win?

so the misconception in what you're stating is 5-6 years made a difference in the league. Early 2000s till mid 2000s were the last stages of a more physical era and it started changing the other way towards a softer era very quick so it kind of makes sense for stephen jackson to mention that.

@@Messiah_Black nba is the only major sports entity where such a large portion of fans are unwilling to acknowledge the fact that players are constantly improving.

@@dubsont1de I don’t know if it’s that so much, as it is the NBA relies heavily on marketing it’s best individual players more than any other team sport. The NFL doesn’t need Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen to be better than Tom Brady to sell tickets, in the same way the NBA needed LeBron & Kobe to be the “next” MJ to boost ratings. People who weren’t even a fan of basketball would come to see Jordan drop 50 pts, or watch Kobe win his 3rd Championship. A list celebs sitting court side at games made Basketball the place to be “seen” in the sports world. And because of this, there is more of a “prima donna” attitude now with basketball players more than any other athlete. You see all these big name players, constantly whining & switching teams, demanding high salaries then not honoring their contracts, joining up together on a handful of good teams just to chase championships... Wasn’t like that back in the day, and it’s stuff like this that takes the competitiveness, mystique & sportsmanship out of the game. You said it yourself: they flop to get more points & bigger contracts. So are players really “improving,” or just padding their numbers🤔? You didn’t have that type of mentality during previous eras, so naturally people are gonna be more reminiscent of the “good ol days” when it seemed like there was less drama & more work ethic.

@@Messiah_Black . So are players really “improving,” or just padding their numbers? Players are improving. Period. Anything that humans continue to do over a long period of time they will improve at. Rewarding flopping is a rules issue, not a soft player issue. If the refs rewarded flopping in any other era theyd flop too. Do you think players would still flop even if they had never been rewarded for it? Just laying on the court for absolutely no reason? of course not.

2015-2024 is a lot of years. He’s benefitted GREATLY from the last decade. This past season, teams averaged 114 per game. 14 players scored 25 or more per game. In 2001-02, teams scored 95 per game and everyone acts like Jordan was a scrub dropping 22.9 per game (25 at the time of his injury in game 46 - him and Kobe were the only two players in the league averaging 25/5/5 at all star break). Only 6 players scored 25 or more that year. LeBron was amazing the first decade of his career… the second decade he’s benefited from an inflated offensive era.

For real

Steph is getting buckets he gets by people cause he has handles and you have to run out on him. Hand checking ? That changes a lot cause Curry is not physically fast or athletic for Nba standards .

curry wouldn't be able to handle hand checking, he is a kid out there around grown ass men

Bro this old heads be on crack. One dude told me that Lebron couldn’t survive the 90s because he has no skill, then he said curry would be a role player in that era because his not big enough. 🤡💀

He might get points but he definitely wouldn’t be scoring as much as he did a few years ago.

How many times you gonna say that

you right

Facts!!

jimmy is a simp dont forget

Juvenile detention centers in new Jersey "❌ *DONT READ MY NAME* ❌"

A 💯. If basketball was still as physical as it were back then a lot of these current players will have adapted! They’re not “soft” just adhering to the league current rules!

I don't see lebron doing it and he definitely wouldn't be considered as good as he was if he was playing back in the 80s and 90s

@@lothar71 Definitely? Okay, when we get a time machine, we will test that theory, because LeBron would be a 6'9" freak in any era, so I think he would have definitely been just as good back then. I don't recall Jordan, Chamberlin, (Magic) Johnson, and Russell doing any more for their teams than James has done so far. Except maybe Russell and Chamberlin--I'm not sure they get the credit they deserve.

@@lothar71 missed the point, guess you have more perspective than the Great Gilbert Arenas a player that Kobe stated he couldn't guard. 😏

@@lothar71 bro if lebron went back in time to play with a cavs team that wasnt trash man would be starting a dynasty in probably end with 8 rings

You don't know Kobe! Kobe was interested in one thing and that is being THE MAN - he didn't care about winning, or the other players, he just wanted to be the man. The Lakers had a period where they appeared in 4 finals out of 5 and won 3. Kobe was dissatisfied because Shaq was the leading scorer, MVP, & focus of the offense. He threaten to leave unless they got rid of Shaq, Phil Jackson and all the rest. From that point on Kobe was the man even though the team was losing before they bounce back and then started losing again. The last 6 or 7 years Kobe & the Lakers didn't even have winning seasons but Kobe was satisfied because he was the man.

Parish and Wilt are critical of Jordan. Jordan's team was a loser in the 80s. In Parish's defense, Jordan never won against the Celtics in any playoff game, going 0-6. Jordan only won a ring towards the end of Celtics and Lakers prime. In Wilt's defense, the league rules adjusted to accommodate Jordan's game while the league rules were adjusted to stop Wilt's game.

But if the rules don't allow it or it costs my team why would I . If another player can argue with the ref and start getting favorable calls why wouldn't I . Players are highly adaptable . They should seek out a advantage if they got it . Nothing is wrong with that . I was born in 82 . Trust me players complained in the 90' s . They also were friends back then too .

Facts

LeBron or any other player wouldn't flop if they think its useless. Many players now would flop to get fouls. People should realize that in 'THIS ERA' flopping is also a skill in basketball.

And they act like guys like Bill Laimbeer and other dirty players from that era weren’t whining, flopping, foul baiting, and complaining to grab any foul call they could get to help their team. It’s just a bit hypocritical that’s all.

Absolutely, love some of his quotes too. "Great players are going to excel in any era". "Delusion doesn't discriminate age". Just WOW.

He left out the fact that the NBA made handchecking illegal in 2004. I think this helped Lebron since he's not a great shooter, and doesn't have the moves or footwork of Jordan or Kobe. I'm not saying he's not a great player though.

one issue is though that Jimmy doesn't mention stats/facts that don't support his point which is a major problem as it creates a false narrative

Those facts aren't always correct! 5:15 he said LeBron averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists He actually averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists!

Rasheed Wallace played from 1996-2010-2013 LeBron James played from 2003-202? Major rule changes occurred from 2000-2002 making the game MUCH Softer. It is just a fact that the modern era is softer than the 90's. On the plus side, the class of 2010-2015 looks like a rough bunch. East looks Beast.

Greats can be great in any era

Most, yes. But the game changes. I think someone like Steph would've been more like Steve Nash 20 years ago. Harden and Kyrie wouldn't have been nearly as good because refs actually called traveling back then, and didn't let you get those cheap fouls. Bron would've been great, but probably wouldn't be averaging 25 at 37 years old...because the paint was more clogged and he'd have to work way harder for buckets. On the other side, many dominant bigs from the past would've had to develop a deep shot, or they wouldn't be used as much. Guards who have no 3 point shot wouldn't even make a roster. AI wouldn't be allowed to take 30 shots on poor efficiency. Some players would be better now, like Reggie Miller and Larry Bird. They'd be taking 12 3pt shots per game. The game just changes. Overall, greats are gonna be great. It's just a matter of HOW great.

Just like how old players from former eras would’ve been great in today’s game, nba players adapt to the current state of the game

@@paulh.9937 i gotta disagree, it can but being a great doesnt translate completely to everywhere

@@lamar1990lg Bro if Curry played in Jordans era you had to play 1v1 or commit to a full double there was no zone schemes and every time curry got the ball he would do 1 of 3 things.

Or lastly you would commit to a full double team and he would pass off to his wide open teammate. Curry is small but the league used to be simpler then what it is now while they have to worry about being guarded by 3 guys while they are also still guarding their man because they can just play a zone all day.

@@deeniehyatt3137 bruh I had to teach myself how to beat my own heart back in the day these kids soft smh

Back in the good old days, I had to walk to school in the snow barefoot for 50 miles for 365 days a year. We couldn't afford shoes. We didn't have any vehicles. Heck, we didn't have any bikes either. Those were the days when no one could afford bags to carry their books in. I had to balance my books on top of my head while walking those 50 miles every day. Oh, did I mention that no one couldn't afford mittens back then ? Yep, the good ole days.

@@dariusewing6962 not trying to diminish all the other GOATs who played in the 80s-90s but LeBron has had considerably more competition in the Finals than almost all of them.

@@dariusewing6962 lebron is 4-6 ahahah not 4-9....but that loss against dallas was bad really bad and he should've won but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't be be dominant in other eras bcuz look at what he did AFTER the dallas series, it was pure domination and still is cuz he's playing at a high level

@@dariusewing6962 really bad take

@@dariusewing6962 MJ didn’t get past the first round until the bulls drafted Scottie. Lebron went to the finals without any superstars in 07 and 18. What’s your point?

Yea he’s tripping, talking about he’s just tall, he’s also one of the best scorers in the nba, maybe even all time, and with his height and him being able to shoot, KD was bound for greatness

You aren't always at your max wingspan at all times while you are playing...you have to dribble, run, create space, jump. There are numerous ways to guard any size person. Yall acting like KD is running down the court with his arms all the way up with a ball in his hand so you can't touch it.

@lita when he said that I knew the interviewer look at him like you’re just full of it literally there’s never ever in the history of basket ball a player like kd ever existed Jordan and Kobe acknowledge him and that’s all that matter everybody else 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kd probably would literally been folded in the past era if he endured all of it. He probably still would’ve played crazy, but I think he’d end up more banged up physically

being tall is over looked, but its usually key to having a long career, tall and a great jump shooter, now that is very special in my opinion

Social medias make you feel that way. It has always been like that.

Then you're ignoring the blatant hate most star players get. Jordan during his career before he got his first ring was called nothing but a scorer and a regular season player. Clearly, that's not the narrative now. Now its "he played against plumbers". Every star gets hate and has their own legacy thrown in their face.

@@iiKobe24ThaGoat tru but no one thinks that way of Jordan anymore especially once he got that chips bron still gets the judgement and I don't think it will ever stop

Probably the most polarized American athlete I know of. I’m pretty certain soccer megastars like Messi and Ronaldo get hella love and hate because they’re watched by billions worldwide

​@@dwadeisthegoat2020 Because Jordan has been removed from the league for 20 years now. The stigma is forgotten, and the nostalgia filled goggles come on, and the media "forgets" that they said these comments. I can promise the same will happen with Lebron 20 years down the line. Thats just how basketball is. The best way to enjoy basketball is to just stop comparing players (especially from different eras) and just watch greatness. It doesn't last forever. Only thing that people might ALWAYS hate Lebron for is politics, and thats just because its politics.

Facts

I really wanna see bron fight

Alex Caruso in the 90s would knock out Oakley, EDP Malone, Mason, X-Man, Alonzo, Rodman, Vernon Maxwel, Sprewell, etc.

6 foot 9 280 bron in a fight would have been pretty cool

He would still be a beast

I love magic man

You’re smoking crack bro the defense in the 90s and early 2000s was the peak so far for defense, teams in the 80’s was averaging damn near 120 points lol

They totally saved the NBA.

@@fury_021But it was physical and they allowed hand checking.

The 70s was not a physical era dude u don’t know wtf u r saying

The top players would still adapt. What a human is hasn't changed since the 60's, there's been zero evolution... We're just talking about metagame changes which are partly due to the natural evolution of the sport, and partly forced by rule changes.

you clearly have never played basketball in your entire life if you did you would know that defenders would definitely be able to guard players from today its so easy to adapt in todays era and thats coming from someone who played HS ball
