The game has changed so much due to 3pt shooting that doing that to Lebron would result in him getting the ball to a wide open 3pt specialist every time. I don't think you want that happening.

Lebron doesn't struggle against physical teams. He struggles against smart teams like San Antonio and Dallas.
LeBron probably weighs more than any one in that late 80's early 90's Pistons 9 man rotation.

He has 70 pounds on the Jordan that got punished by these Pistons simply because he was too scrawny and weak

Just how he dominated Diaw? :lol :lol
The Pistons doubled, tripled and whole team teamed MJ.
While Bron gets 14 second isolations :lol

Jordan dick rider talking nonsense. (like a lot of the Lebron haters) There is probably no player more equipped to deal with the "Jordan rules" than Lebron. He's a tank and much, much, much stronger and more solid than Jordan was...especially in the late 80s/early 90s. You see guys try to stop him at the rim throughout his career and all they usually do is end up fouling him and giving him an and 1. Same thing would happen vs the Pistons, but they are going to lay him out like they laid out Jordan and Pippen...right. Scottie was at his biggest in the mid to late 90s and Lebron is still much bigger than he is. It's a lot easier knocking around guys that are smaller than you...but no so easy when they are actually bigger and stronger than you which Lebron is compared to the Pistons players from this era.

Bron is weak minded.
He can't even drive around Diaw and has a hard time dunking on Duncan.
But don't take it from me, here's a guy that actually played against both:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5dXZxj6Zbc&ab_channel=SportsNationESPN
Bron had a hard time vs the Spurs, got most of his points on cheap isolations and garbage time. Spurs LITERALLY 'dared' him to shoot.

There was a plethora of times in which Bron should've dunked on Timmy but didn't. Times in which he needed to, in order to seal games, wide open lanes with Bron getting the step, yet he didn't.
Again... MANY times.

Yes OP, I can imagine it easily.
Watched the whole Jordan vid in the OP and there weren't many hard fouls at all, just a lot of tripping and trash talking.
Here's a really but really quick search on youtube of hard fouls on Lebron which look all much worse and dangerous than those in the Jordan vid. And it didin't cause to much trouble for Lebron so I think he would do just perfectly fine against those Pistons.

If i can imagine somebody as athletic & at the level of Jordan but 3" taller with 50-70 lbs more muscles going up against Bad Boy Pistons? Yes i can.... and the badest boy (Laimbeer) of that team can more than confirm it for that same exact reason:

This is actually true. The best way to beat Bron is not overreacting to him defensively and throwing traps, doubles, triples, etc like teams used to on Jordan when his teammates were hot garbage.
Best bet is to sag off him with single coverage w/ a taller, mobile defender who can stay in front of him. You make sure his teammates, especially the shooters have a man on them at all times. His first instinct is to pass/find the open man so if you do that, you'll force him into a high rate of TOs. He doesn't usually have confidence in his long range/mid range shot, especially when challenged. But even if his shot is dropping, it just means he'll be Melo instead of the guy who causes havoc with his court vision.

"It's really not a comparison. If LeBron was playing in the late '80s and early '90s, he would be just an average player," Rodman said Friday on "The Dan Patrick Show."
"LeBron came into the age of the game at a perfect time. Michael came into the game when back then you could hit people, knock him down, shoot a free throw and get back up," Rodman said. "And LeBron can't do that. All they do today is (complain) about a foul. All they do is (complain)."

Oh ok.
In that vid the only hard foul I saw was Isiah jumping around Jordan's neck, all other were mostly just pushing Jordan and tripping, and he was lying, rolling on the floor almost crying over it. Doesn't make him look really tough,...
And I hate doing this because I have nothing against GOAT at all but it just sickens me when stupid threads like this are created when OP probably didn't even watch the vid he posted, cuz then he would see that there weren't any hard fouls at all. And yet he's here claiming all happy and excited how Lebron couldn't play against that when he was fouled way harder throughout his career than Jordan was in this vid.

Bron takes 13 seconds to execute, he dribbles.. .dribbles... dribbles... dribbles... dribbles.... dribbles.... dribbles.... dribbles.... dribbles
That shit aint working vs the Pistons (or most teams from Mj's era). And even when he penetrates, he's not as good a finisher as MJ, not on the same level actually.
And this isn't even including hand checking, hard fouls, clogged lanes, etc.etc.
Bron= top 10 easily
But he aint no Michael Jordan.
Put him in the 80-90s, and his numbers deflate noticeably.
Worse fg%, less assists, less points, less rebounds.

It's funny hearing how "tough" Jordan was and the remember/see how it took him 5 minutes to get off the floor everytime someone went just a tiny bit over the line

He's right. LBJ got fouled many times way harder than Jordan did in THE VID OP POSTED. That's all I'm saying in this thread, OP posts a vid which he didn't even watch fully probably and then he's accusing me of being blind :lol

one of the dumbest post ever. different era, different rules=players adjust differently. if lebron played in that era I'm sure he would play differently and use the physical play to his strength. shame on you.

Lebron smoked the Big Three Celtics just like that.
He also beat the 2012 Thunder which consisted of three future hall of famers, and 3 players who would be on today's top 7 list.
He also beat the Spurs in 2013 and they proved to be a great team.
He's also ended what may have been a very successful Bulls team.

Yes you right, can you image what Jordan would have done with all the space Lebron have? It would be Scary.
You see guys try to stop him at the rim throughout his career and all they usually do is end up fouling him and giving him an and 1. .
lol are you comparing the level of contact Jordan got vs what Lebron gets? Are you really that dense? How many and1's would Jordan get if players could only barely touch him without getting technicals oR being ejected?
brain, use it.

lebron is strong, but he's nowhere near as cunning and quick thinking as mike when it comes to holes in the defense... and there weren't as many holes back then. mj could cut through the d like no other. i'm sure he would do fine though - if we're putting him up against the 80's pistons, you've got to think how an 80's lebron would be playing. also, think how a present day mj would be playing.

Exactly.
Bron fans reasoning "he's bigger and stronger.. durrrrr" but it's not about that. Even if Bron can power his way inside, he doesn't have the mentality to do so. He isn't tough enough to keep coming at you time and time again. He doesn't have the game to do so. Shit... he kept getting isolations and had a hard time finishing as it was, with no men camping in the lane.
Bron got shook when Leonard came back in the game :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm really sad.
Bron simply isn't built for it (mentally and skills wise).
