Imagine 6’9 280 lebron vs this competition.....

[Sccit]

BTW LARRY BIRD WAS ALSO 6’9 AND BETTER THAN LEBRON IN LITERALLY EVERY FACET OUTSIDE OF ATHLETICISM

League already had Wilt, LeBron isn't physically tough enough to do play in those old days.

This is just untrue. The highest scorers in that era average pretty much the same today as players in the 80's. Of course the FG% was slightly higher back then because players were not jacking up 3'.s Its way easier to score today, especially for the perimeter players. I don't even know what point you're trying to make or how that's relevant to the 86 Celtics in the playoffs.

Either way, you already compared the 2011 Mavs to the 86 Celtics so that says it all.

This is an offensive era like the 80’s you aren’t saying anything.

This isn’t LeBron’s era he’s at the backend of his career. LeBron has been destroying elite defenses since the dead ball mid-2000’s era.

Not THAT year....but he destroyed them the year the Celts won the ship.

We're talking about the 86 Celtics not 84. King even destroyed the Pistons worse that year.

This was pent up in you before you posted.

Nothing pent up, been stating it for years. I just express my hoops like that

Again...that was pent up...for years.

Along with much of it being senseless.

And taking no threes.

Whatever my guy. You got it. The boy still trash to me though

 

[GilSho]

Durant, Bron, Harden, Giannis, Steph would easily average 45+ in this era. Last time I saw so many cacs on the court together was those early 2010's Timberwolves teams.

This is an offensive era like the 80’s you aren’t saying anything.

This isn’t LeBron’s era he’s at the backend of his career. LeBron has been destroying elite defenses since the dead ball mid-2000’s era.

The 80's were only an "offensive era" in the first half of the 80's , not in the 2nd half in which Jordan played when teams like the Bucks, Pistons and Hakws started to rise in prominence in the East as the best teams for being DEFENSIVE teams. So that's a myth, you're just repeating there, generalizing the whole 80's.

The early 00's was a more defensive era than the late 00's. Doesn't mean the whole era was defensive. The early 2010's was a more defensive era than this current 3' ball happy , late 2010's era.

I don't care if this is Lebron's era or not , ISO. That's not the point here.

If you take a look at the best offensive players the 86 Celtics faced, they faced Dominique in round 2 and he had 24/6/4 on 39 FG% He faced the Pistons in the previous round were he had 34/6 on 46 FG%.

In the ECF, the 86 Celtics faced the Bucks and they limited Terry Cummings, one of the most underrated and difficult players to guard of that era to 18/11 on 40 FG%

In the NBA finals of 86, they made Hakeem play worse than he normally could (despite Hakeem having the help of another all star 7'4 giant named Ralph Sampson)
Hakeem had 25/12 on 48 FG% . Hakeem in the WCF against the Lakers had 31/11 on 52 FG%.

Of course in that same series, the 86 Celtics totally consumed Sampson and made him irrelevant despite the fact he was a giant with good ball skills.

The point is Jordan was able to put up those sort of numbers because in addition to being the best player ever at scoring at the basket, he was also the best midrange shooter ever.

He put up those numbers against virtually every team he faced in the playoffs : List of career achievements by Michael Jordan - Wikipedia (scroll down to his individual playoff numbers).

He has several playoff series performances in excess of 40ppg, something no other player in NBA history has even come close to doing, including Lebron. And Lebron plays in an era that is very kind to perimeter players.

Anyway, I have other things to do. Its always fun schooling you on basketball but you make it easier for me, because most times you don't know what you're talking about. I have other things to do. I'll let you have the last word.

Of course, for you, Bird has the highest iq


That bum could barely even remember to guard Jordan in the clip

They act like it doesn’t matter

The white American has lost prevalence in the game the last 3 decades

All their scouting reports pinpoint the same weaknesses

But they think MJ being defended for entire games by the likes of Randy Wittman and Craig Ehlo is cool
