Prime Lebron with the 1990's New York Knicks

[Baller1986]

What if an 18 yrs.old LeBron started his NBA Career in 1990??? How many NBA titles in the 1990's????

2 in 94-95..... 1 in 98.
93 would be close too but he would only be 20 by that time. if they get by bulls in 93, they win it all. bulls knicks series will go to a very tight 7 game but i give bulls a slight edge given lebron's young age.

[Lebron23]

2 in 94-95..... 1 in 98.


Fair enough

Lebron, Starks, and Ewing + a Bunch of good role players + Pat Riley = NBA Championship. Lebron would definitely out play a 33 yr.old Drexler, and a 24-25 yrs.old Robert Horry in the finals.

That's tough. All things the same as far as lebron's impact? They push the bulls hard almost every season. And the push will get worse with each year, I'm not sure young Pippen would be able to deal well with Lebron. And imagine Lebron with his size and strength with the Knicks culture. Being taught to punish from day one? Ugliest ball of all time lol. I'd say anywhere from 2 to 5 rings.

I see Pippen holding lebron to his numbers from the 2011 finals.

Are you really sure about that???

[scandisk_]

Are you really sure about that???

Perhaps not, but we're sure as hell that Pip is goin to make it very tough for bron.

Back on topic, they prolly have a solid chance in 93-95. 98-99

I see Pippen holding lebron to his numbers from the 2011 finals.
Pippen would do a WAY better job than JJ Barea and Shawn Marion:lol . They also had Rodman who could also shut LeBald down with ease. He wouldnt be scoring any legit points the entire series honestly, aside from a few FT's from flopping.

5ppg max

So we're replacing the likes of Charles Smith, and McDaniels with prime LeBron?

Would probably split the decade with Jordan, namely 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 if Jordan retires. If Jordan doesn't retire, I can see Jordan winning 94 and 95 with LeBron winning in 96, 97 etc.

people fail to remember just how close these series were.
if you put a player of lebron's caliber on these knick teams they do what the bulls did that decade.
lebron + ewing + great tough role players + pat riley = rings.

No doubt, LeBron and Ewing + Stark/Mason/etc would've ripped the 90s a new asshole. That combination of defense and offense is just scary. Might win 75+ games assuming injury free.

Ewing gets injured in 1999 bruh, I wouldn't call it a lock.

the knicks still went to the finals & were in stirking distance in all games during the finals, respectively.

injured or not, a prime lebron is leading the knicks to a chip.

houston/sprewell/lj/lebron = FEAR

From what I remember the Knicks got destroyed inside due to lack of interior presence. But you're right, I could see LeBron (would be around 2012-2013 version) leading them to the chip.

leBron wOULd NOt able to play in 1990's :banana:

I agree. Bran Ball + Riley's defensive philosophy equals multiple titles in the 1990's. And lebron is the greatest game 7 performer of all time. Lebron with the knicks in 1995 would have beaten the 1995 indiana pacers.

[Lebron23]

at least 5 NBA titles.

[coastalmarker99]

Adding prime Lebron who is now allowed to hand-check makes that New york team the Goat defensive team.


Lebron most likely is able to slow down Jordan just enough for New york to win vs the Bulls in 1992 and 1993

[TheGoatest]

In that watered-down decade Hakeem Olajuwon won a championship with his #2 averaging 13.8 ppg on .376 in the playoffs.
Assuming Ewing averages 17 on .500 as LeBron's #2, that means no less than 8 rings for LeBron.

[Johnny32]

i think lebron is better on both ends in the 90s. he might 10-peat.
