i know this has gotten a little off topic, but it's true about the 80's and 90's. lebron couldnt play his game back then. Those teams were super physical and would have completely fricked up his best weapon, which is blowing by people for easy dunks

And how long did Nique last in the league before he was phased out. What maybe 10 years

They use to like to double team them. Lambier with the clothsline and Mahorn with the shoulder. James didnt have 25 lbs on Mahorn and oh yeah Rodman would probably kick him in the nuts on the way down!

Did you ever even watch the Bad Boys play?

Nique was one of the best 5 players in the 80s.

MJ is the GOAT. Its really that simple. Does any basketball "expert" or "purist" even debate this? The only names that even compete in the conversation are usually, Chamberlain, Russell, Baylor, Robertson, and Magic.

you can add Moses Malone too.

DW was a great player, but not top 5 in the 80's. he didnt even make the HOF on his first try

of course it is. Jordan is the GOAT. He has the best career. The most talent. The total package.

And in the last 30 years, Lebron has been putting up stats higher than anyone not named Jordan.

But Lebron has the same type of talent, and before it's all over has the potential to rattle off a similar tape of accomplishments.

And none of that matters though. because we're talking about two players with two skill sets, and the matchups between them and only them.

And in a matchup between Jordan and Lebron one on one, Lebron would win. In a matchup with Jordan and four dead average position players and Lebron and four dead average Jordan would win.

Dr. J would probably be very good one on one as well.

not his fault he played in an unloved town with no help.

When Nique didn't make the Top 50 NBA players of all time, Bird discredited the whole list.

Bird on Nique: "Top 25."
