Here is a list of past NBA players that could excel in todays game.

Wilt
Kareem
Hakeem
Shawn Kemp
Bird
Magic
Thomas
Ewing
Wilkins
MJ
Kobe

I could go on and on…

He was 215 pounds of muscle and ran 100 yards in 9.5 seconds. That’s roughly a 10.4 100 meter run. Thats ELITE speed even for someone who is small. He was big while running it

This man at this size with 9.5 second speed can play in any era

What I don’t understand is people like him ignoring players like Daniel Gafford or Robert Williams III, 6-8 to 6-11 players who can’t shoot and have zero offensive game yet start for NBA finals teams. I thought there were no players like this anymore because they couldn’t exist in this league much less players who were far better offensive players than them who were equally as good or better on the glass and on D.

Lol… he wasn’t that good of an NFL player when he played. He was decent but nothing special.

He was a 4x All AFL player Peej while having to completely switch positions due to a massive back injury. Kinda why he was the leagues leading rusher before that back injury…Oh, no bid deal, I’ll switch to tight end and still make more all AFL teams. Not that good though…. Has any other player made all NFL at two different positions?

Led the AFL one season in rushing yards. Another season second in the afl for receiving yards for tight ends Yeh, decent

Please don’t ever pretend to be the gatekeeper to the old days ever again

He tricked me with his goofy charm.

Thought he might be lowkey cunning, but, nah.

OF COURSE NOT

But a 215 pound man that runs a 10.4 100m will play in the nfl

Idk, but I do know if you were on the other side of this debate, you’d say he could definitely do it in today’s game bc these guys are soft

What a perfect illustration backfiring on you. He is arguing with the other side and that poster hasn’t made the argument you alleged. You suggested it though showing how your mind works and his doesn’t. Thank you for unintentionally exposing yourself.
