NBA Legends Are Coming After LeBron James

It makes you appreciate guys like Larry Bird and Allen Iverson who are the rightly considered legends and all-time greats but also have no problems giving today’s players the respect they deserve

Gilbert continues to be one of the most respectful and level headed former basketball players I’ve seen, doesn’t really take sides or claim the era he played in was best

The point about great players adapting, lebron came into the league with the three pointer being his main weakness but he's been in the league so long that the three became essential and he developed his game and expanded his range to the half court line. Perfect example of great players being great in any era.

People seem to forget that Lebron has played for almost 2 decades. He isn't just a current player, he's been an NBA player for more of his life than he has not.

I love that Rasheed and Rodman claimed they would dominate KD, but Kobe said he couldn’t ever figure out how to stop KD.

Put kd in any era ever he’s getting arrested for witchcraft and is averaging 30 minimum

I used to think this was a a legit arguement until LeBron 2018 happened. That was his physical and mental game peaking at the same time. Simply, unstoppable. Could terrorise any era

We love the old heads, but it's always great to see someone taking the time to bring their mythical status back down to Earth.

damn. Much respect to Gilbert , he’s real asf.

Bro Rasheed actually talking about a guy who smacked him in the playoffs

Dennis Rodman saying someone relies too much on strength and athleticism is hilarious

8:54 i have so much respect for him after that comment! It's really about adapting to the era and the way they play/ed . You can't say "ah this guy couldn't shoot three's so he wouldn't do that well today" or the other way around. If someone from back then practiced shooting three's it would be a completely different story. Same way players today could adapt to the 90's playstyle . Some more, some less

Gilbert Arenas has become one of my favorite NBA guys. He’s so level headed and genuinely funny. I’m 31 so I try to be fair to generations older or younger than me and not be bias about mine. I

“Great players will excel in any era” best quote of 2021 in terms of basketball

Rasheed Wallace is like that 90s kid born on December 1999 talking about 2000s kids

Rodman’s “make basketball tough again” hat had me laughing 😂

I don't care what Era we talking about Curry is still getting his points.

As long as there's generational stars, things like this will always happen. Those blessed by extreme talent are cursed with the harshest critics.

Greatness is defined by a player's ability to adapt to new changes in the game, that's why players like Steph and KD would also prosper in the 90s.

i saw Stephen Jackson on a show once saying Lebron wouldnt last in his era. Stephen Jackson was drafted like 5-6 years before Lebron and they were in the league for 11 years together. Anyone who thinks todays players are soft because of the way they exaggerate fouls must be slow. When you see someone bump Lebrons forearm and he goes flying just think about this: do you really REALLY think a slap on the arm would effect Lebron like that? You think it causes him so much agony that he cant go on? Of course not. They do it because they know more times than not they'll get a foul call because thats how the nba is officiated now. More foul calls = more free throws = more points = more wins = bigger contracts etc. If you took any "tough guy" from the 80's and told them they could go from scoring 17 points per game to 25+ by just exaggerating any contact they receive i guarantee they'd do it. 17 ppg guys make 25 mil a year. 25+ ppg guys make 40 mil and get shoe deals.
