Hakeem was great..


His offensive moves were phenomenal, not to mention he is the all-time blocks leader... by 700 blocks.

Rodman was epic in getting under the skin. I used to love watching him mess with Karl Malone. He would make Lebron cry more than he already does.

You were obviously not alive before PlayStations were invented, so I don't expect you to understand. Rodman was an all-time great defender that would get in players' heads like no one else. He frustrated some of the mentally strongest players. Lebron breaks down against players half as tough as Rodman.

I agree. I drew a blank too trying to answer that question.

SA stopped the Heat - they didn't stop Lebron. Lebron had a great series both times

Lebron is 2-3 in NBA Finals appearances. His Airness was 6-0 against very tough teams, oh and he quit basketball cold turkey at age 28 and went to play baseball mid-career too. Again, you won't answer the question about watching Jordan play. So again, did you watch Jordan play?

He obviously never did. The NBA doesn't have any big men that come close to those of the 90's. Lebron gets past one defender and he's home free. Players like MJ had to get past their defenders, then get up, over, or around guys like Matumbo. This argument is dumb as shite.

The NBA doesn't revolve around big men anymore like it did in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

That's my point. The Matumbos, Dreams, David Robinsons of the NBA made shite a lot tougher for parameter guys like MJ to dominate. That being said, he still did.

The bigs of today can shoot from the outside, could you imagine the bigs from then going to the perimeter trying to guard a big of today.

Yes, very easily. You don't think a guy like Shawn Kemp could guard Lamarcus Aldrige?
