LeBron took the early 2000s Pistons to the woodshed as a 3rd and 4th year player, and those teams were built exactly like the 80s and 90s squads that people love.

Do people think that?

And those of that are old enough to think that quit watching the NBA years ago.

Really?

Those teams had a Hall of Fame PG, SG, PF and coach?

A 4x all star at center?

A former stud at SF that was still an excellent player?

They didn't have all of those.

They had a stud, undersized center that might have been better than Laimbeer, but were worse at every other position.

And then LeBron gets free throws and eventually Laimbeer fouls out.

Y'all act like back in the 80's players could get away with murder and no foul was called. That's just not true.

1 dude in this thread actually thinks 2 dudes threw multiple punches at each other and a common foul was called. Time distorts those memories, man.

Robert Parish handled Laimqueer.

No safety pins for The Chief.

They were a dominant defensive force and played incredibly physical. They put an end to Kobe/Shaq in 5 games. They're very comparable to those 80s teams whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

That doesn't mean that he would win.

Lebron 9-6
Well this is a bit deceiving because of the 66 game season in 2011-2012. Both Indiana (52) and OKC (58) were on pace for over 50 wins. So it's more like 11-6.

Comparable yes, as talented, frick no.

The Hall of Fame speaks for itself.

The only guy in the Hall from those 2000s Pistons teams is the coach, whom nobody would mistake for Chuck.

No, but they probably had 2 Hall of Famers with Billups and Webber. Hamilton was a 20 PPG scorer at that point. And Flip wasn't some terrible coach or anything.

Tayshaun was in the middle of his 4 consecutive second team All NBA defense seasons while averaging 14 PPG.

They were better, but the mid 2000's Pistons were one of the had great teams.

But despite being less talented, they still won in 6, rather than losing. Shouldn't that have some bearing on the comparison?

Well Billups isn't even eligible yet.

And I think the other thing to note is that, while that Bad Boys team was better than the 2000s Pistons team, LeBron was also like 22 years old or something when he singlehandedly beat them, so that wasn't even close to peak LeBron.

Dennis Rodman would have Lebron faking an injury.
