Imagine if this guy grew up with a 3-pt line and emulating LeBron James…

Incredible Wilt footage.

I don’t know who the GOAT is, but I lean towards Kareem. However, another thing that makes it hard to compare different eras is the fact that in the past many players played four years in college before being in the NBA. Kareem did, for example. He was so dominant in college, they changed the rules to outlaw dunking. If he had gone straight to the NBA after one year of college or directly from high school, who knows what would have happened. He could have been dominant for even more years, or he could never have even developed the skyhook.

@63 Barkley and Jerry West.

Duncan and Malone are still on the board, and you pick Barkley to play the four? You have lost your GM job, sir.

George Hill, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson should be enough to win a playoff series for a guy like LeBron, who normally makes his teammates much better. I guess LeBron has lost his touch, and/or he’s checked out in Cleveland and decided he’s going to let Ty Lue coach (clearly a terrible idea).

Not a great game for the “LeBron is the GOAT” crowd…

I was too polite in my first post about James vs. Jordan.

I think James would wilt the moment Jordan dunked over him and stared him down. If James dunked over Jordan first, Jordan would come back at him and score 5 times in a row, stare him down, and James would wilt. Again, you can argue that James has the better overall package and stats, but they aren’t even close as players and competitors. Jordan was definitely better. Jordan took pleasure in crushing other all time great players and would have sent James away whimpering.

LeBron, Jordan, Kareem, Wilt and Russell would have been immortals in any era. It’s possible that in the 1960’s, LeBron would have been forced by rigid HS and college coaches to be a back-to-the basket PF. He wouldn’t have grown up emulating Jordan’s every move to the point where he wore his number. Maybe in today’s game, Jordan is James Harden plus on offense and the best wing defender in the league.

The Kyle Korver’s brother story is gut-wrenching.
