Stephen Jackson makes a good point. Teams are not allowed to be physical with Lebron. It's only reason he still looks dominant.

You can make a video like that of the 80s and early 2000s. You'd be surprised at how much more examples of those we have today because they happen virtually everytime it would not make sense to make a compilation. The question is, how much defense is allowed when it matters. Pre 2005, there was certainly a lot of physicality allowed on the defensive end.

OP, there is physicality. However, on the offensive end. They let Lebron get away with stiffarming and of warding off.

There's definitely way less physicality. This isn't even arguable. This is definitely a factor on why bron has lasted as long as he has. That plus he takes care of his body better than anyone.

Plus lebron avoids contact and always settles for outside jumpers. Crab dribbling is way to the basket and never met by a defender Anyone can last 18 years like that. MJ would have lasted 25 years if he didn't have Craig Ehlo and Danny Ainge bullying him.
