LeBron would destroy 1990's according to JJ Reddick

[Lebron23]

JJ Reddick made a lot of sense instead of Past NBA legends attacking his NBA Career. They just needs to answer his questions without name calling, and acting like little children. Reddick had a solid NBA career. He would be a solid 2nd or 3rd scoring option in 1990's and a much deadlier 3 point shooter without the zone defense.

LeBron would destroy any era.

[Lebron23]

LeBron would destroy any era.

Indeed

[StrongLurk]

He still wouldn't be better than Michael Jordan which is really what is being talked about here.

[Spurs m8]

No one cares

The feather would retire coz he's too soft

[SouBeachTalents]

The better question is how would he do on the 90’s Jazz.

We aren't animals on this forum - we're human beings that can deduce things based on obvious logic, so we don't have to guess..

We know that the drive-heavy game of today's ball-dominators needs spacing, which is exactly what previous eras lack..

So spotty-shooting ball-dominators like Luka, Lebron, Westbrook or SGA wouldn't have the spacing that they need to play their best game, while expert jumpshooters like Kobe, MJ or Curry can shoot over defenses and still play their best game.

In addition to lacking the spacing, today's ball-dominators would get physically hurt when attacking the rim - hard fouls like this were standard and this physicality coupled with the lack of spacing would turn Lebron or Luka into passive facilitators like Kidd or Magic.

Accordingly, we can assume that Lebron would play below MVP-caliber like 2008 before he received all-star spacing he needs in 2009.. It all adds up.. We don't have to act like animals like we can't figure out what would happen based on deduction and reason - that's the difference between us and animals.

So like a top 3 MVP and a scoring title?

Top 3 for MVP is a Blake Griffin or Pippen peak... lol

So yeah.. sounds about right.

No scoring title though because his at-rim (bread-and-butter) would be reduced due to packed paints and teammates not spacing the floor for him.. and hard fouls.. and physicality on perimeter (hand-checking and impeding)

So Pippen was a Lebron level player? Damn...such help.

Lebron would be a better version of Pippen back then, so he would likely do better than 19 on 42% in 6 Finals (Pandemic P caliber).

It isn't saying much to be better than Pippen.. Grant Hill and Penny were much better than Pippen.. Lebron would be a little better than them but the reality is that Lebron couldn't win back then - his drive-and-kick skillset wouldn't have anyone to kick to back then, and kicking out for 2-pointers is a lot less efficient/useless..

So Lebron would suck really bad back then - he would feel even more trapped (feeling like he can't win) than he felt in 2010.. And I don't think that era would tolerate him trying to team up with Bird or Magic, so he'd be f*****

Lebron fresh out of high school (age) 20 was putting up prime Kobe scoring numbers with no spacing and no movement, with 7apg which Jordan (or kobe) NEVER achieved in 15 seasons

MJ at the same age was a 3rd option in college

JJ Redick owning all mj fans
