how much better would his numbers be
the fact that zone defence was illegal back in the day
elevated pace and weak 1 on 1 defence
against a league of lesser defenders like craig ehlo and dan marley

Dominant. The word is dominant. This is like a common occurrence on here.
This board is where the American school system comes to fail.
In before 3ball..........And he'll be exactly right.......

the better question would be what would lebrons numbers look like if he got to play the high tempo teams likephoenix suns, denver nuggets, warriors (pre curry era) 3-4 times a year
instead they face teams like bulls, pacers, pistons, etc who are all known for grind-it-out defence
the west is fraud

I'm bored so...
Clogged lanes and less 3pt shooting will prevent most of his drives and assists. He has weak ball handling so hand checking will give him issues. His post game is meek if there's a body around. He takes 15 seconds to do anything. He gets tired by playing isolation one on one and guarding a stand still player, instead he'd be getting doubled and triple teamed, along with getting bumped, grabbed and have to chase players through multiple screens set by players like Benoit Benjamin, Kevin Willis, Oakley, Thorpe, Purdue, Mason, etc etc etc.
If by "dominate" you mean be less efficient, lower stats, loose more energy, then yeah much more dominate.

He'd take 60 shots a game without wearing down?

I think B- or maybe B+ at best, with some occasional C & C+ games, probably average a B....

I always wondered how he would do back in the 90s. His game would certainly be different because of the rule changes. I think he would still be a top player, just that his game would be different.
I just did a YouTube search for hand checking, found this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izMs91Q72hg
OP, your engrisha is very suck.

^^^^ the entire panel (barkley/steve-kenny smith/kerr), all 90s players, have said lebron would be even BETTER in that era, because he'd use the implemented rules att to his advantage.
i would assume ~2-3 more points, ~2 or 3 more assists, and a few more rebounds. his shooting percentages would go up too because of the shortened 3pt line, and lack of double teams he'd face - meaning more iso basketball.
lebron would be the basketball zeus of the 90s

Please. LeBron's a freak athlete and he would dominate. Be saltier.

Lebron would been just as good as prime Grant Hill if he would have played in the mid 90s. There wouldn't have been any Jerry Stackhouse hype if Lebron would have played in the mid 90s.
