Was MJ an average athlete??

[urbetterthenme]

.
Is he the only player u can bring up thats playing today lol LBJ would have gotten hammered in the lane back then amd not gotten all these soft *** fouls of today. There were actually real Centers and Power Forwards back then in the 80s and 90s. Not stretch 5s and 4s like today. And Pippen, MJ and Rodman could all guard Lebron, for that matter.

LOL MJ wasnt gonna guard LBJ. LBJ stronger and faster than MJ. Do you forget LBJ is Karl Malone size but strongeR?

Do you see how he is bulllying people in the post this year?

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Lol Lebron faster than the black cat MJ now I know u don't have any idea what your talking about. Bullying people in the post? What post players u talking bout lol whose the premier shot blockers and POWER Forwards of todays game. And i dunno bout LBJ being stronger than Malone either.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Don't forget MJ was DPOY in 87-88

LOL all the old dudes know Lebron would dominate in the 80s and 90s

Toughest player MJ guarded was Cylde. Scottie was guarding the most offensive players back in the day

But again the Lebron you see today wouldn't be the Lebron you see today. The beauty of arguing across eras

The rules back then would help Lebron more than hurt him. LBJ plays the ref game now because thats how you win. He is barely fazed by these hard fouls.

NBA Power Rankings: The Top 10 Defenders of the Past 30 Years
http://teamstre.am/1DX8Xxw

article written in 2010. Not 1 defender in there from today's game. Not Even Close. Ben Wallace was last player on the list to play in the NBA. And yes Ben Wallace could guard Lebron too.

 

[dmxfury]

I'm more referring to his physical dominance and stature

And they all switched who they defended. Scottie was like a lock down corner. MJ was like a free safety. Rodman was better than both of them tho. U could put Rodman on any player in the league. How Lebron gonna guard MJ tho lol. People never tall about that side. LBJ and MJ is not a good comparision in my opinion. Lebron is clearly more Magic than MJ.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Reason why LeBron looks "barely fazed" when he gets fouled is cause most of the time they're NOT fouls. And def wouldn't have been back then.

LBJ is a better defender than Magic tho. Way better

Magic could guard 1-5 just like Lebron. The NBA isn't a one on one sport.

He could but Lebron does an excellent job.

Lebron falls short in the mental toughness category he doesn't have that killer mentality like Magic, MJ, and Bird did.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

No true 2-3 or 2-1-2 zones are even allowed any more in the NBA cause of that stupid defensive 3 second rule.

 

[ryanjumpman420]

I'd say LBJ is a better perimeter defender than Magic but Magic is a better post defender.

Lebron is not a magic johnson people Lebron plays more like a Charles Barkley in his prime

 

[yjaybrooks]

MJ the player that every basketball player that pick up a basketball want to be like is average ??

 

[urbetterthenme]

Lebron is not a magic johnson people Lebron plays more like a Charles Barkley in his prime

LOL  bruh yall make these compairisons but they be all over the place. Did you even watch prime Charles? Hell, have you even watched Lebron play?

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Charles Barkley. An overachiever. Unlike Lebron an underachiever In my opinion. Chuck was a bad dude in prime. A very bad dude mid to late 80s to early 90s. He is not to be left short. Chuck could run the fast break and slam as good as Bron or anyone for that matter. Better rebounder than Lebron by far while being a solid 3-4 inches shorter. Barkley still hides his height. Def no taller than 6-5. At a time when the league was at the tallest it has ever been. Again 1986 was the tallest year for players in the NBA. Lebron vs Chuck. A better passer. Sure. Dribbles? sure. Hustle? No.

Favorite Charles Barkley quote. When asked about going up against Angola in the Dream Teams first game in the 92 Olympics "I don't know anything about Angola, but they're in trouble."
