Even LeBron James thinks the modern game is watered down...

[Showtime80']

LOL! Check this sh!t out. Even the "king" thought the NBA was watered down waaay back in 2010!!! Wonder why EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER puts the 1980's as the BEST ERA FOR BASKETBALL EVER when comparing eras.

"Hopefully the league can figure out one way where it can go back to the '80s where you had three or four All-Stars, three or four superstars, three or four Hall of Famers on the same team," James said. "The league was great. IT WASN'T AS WATERED DOWN AS IT IS NOW"

"You had more [star] players on a team, which made almost every game anticipated, not just a Christmas Day game," James said. "I don't ever think it is bad for the league when guys decide they want to do some greatness for what we call a team sport."

Nuff said!!!

"80's were water down" - 70's

[Im Still Ballin]

Yep

He's right

He's the last of the old school breed

Game was much tougher back in his day

These new age fans and superstars don't get it

Was a different ball game

They just don't get it

[riseagainst]

he thinks it's watered down because he's losing in the finals.

He went out and made it happen :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Klay 3D]

Watered down cause he join forces.

With any kind of physicality, Lebron flops. What credibility does he have? That he looks 50 so he should act it? :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Showtime80']

Well this is the 4-time MVP, 2-time champion, best overall player of the last 10 years!!! So I think he has a "little" credibility! LOL!!!

[feyki]

He's right .

[Dr Seuss]

what the fck are you posting lebrons nonsensical opinions on that subject. obviously, 1. he said that in order to lesson the blow of him joining up with the two top 7 players at that time. 2. it was essentially a plea/admittance of him needed more help on his team. and not just competent role players, but actual all stars/superstars (how many BEST players in the league would do that?). 3. 3 all stars per team, huh? so are we looking at a 90 person all star game? :facepalm

dont use lebrons retarded statement as evidence for any era being better than another one. youre not that dumb.

[Born Sinner]

Both the player and stanbase are melting down :lol

What

a

Time

[plowking]

And with what McGrady has said, the definition has changed with each passing player, and now we are stuck with people using it and meaning completely different things.

[SpaceJam]

LMAO this was all just a set up for The Decision

The prelude

[warriorfan]

as shown from lebron's lack of assertiveness in clutch situations it is known he has low self confidence

he realizes the only way for him to make so many ECF is cause of a wack league

he is just being honest

the thing is he is only half right

only the modern Eastern Conference is wack

Western Conference has been strong and competitive year after year
