How good would LeBron & Durant be in the mid 90's

Damn cant even begin to explain how they would shit on the league. LEBron would be the clear cut Nr.1 as no zones were played and he would be allowed to play physical on defense. he would just dunk on everybody and with his great 3 pter he would shoot 58 % from shortened line
Durant would be very good too and maybe slightly better than Jordan. as mutch as his FTA would go down and he would have no chance being anywhere close to Bron he would still be slightly better than Jordan imo because of shortened 3 pt line and short defenders on the perimeter aswell as no zone defenses. imagine Lebron and Durant being guarded by 6`2 guards

A short 3 point line is basically mid range. LeBron shoots .362 from 16 feet to the 3 point line, so no he wouldn't shoot 58% from downtown in the 90s.

Considering it was a much more physical era with handchecking and what not its fairly logical to believe KD would not have it as easy as Lebron offensively when driving/slashing in due to his frame, you could basically control a guys body/path with hand & body contact.... and if you DO get inside for an easy layup/dunk there is a guy waiting to throw you to the ground first (flagrant today = normal foul back then)... with that being said KD's FT drawing ability at the magnitude he draws today would not work equally well either. Except for that he would pretty much be the same i guess.... he would benefit from the shorter 3PT line.

Lebron's strength however gives him a counter balance to that, nothing would change for him, infact more likely he would be better as the physical freedom will allow him to literally bulldoze & ragdoll people inside.

i meant 48 and yes he would

Just curious where they would rank in the hand check era. Also the 3 point line was shortened from 23' 9 inches to 22 feet in the mid 90's so god knows what Durant would be shooting from 3.

I have great respect for the pioneers of the game like Jordan and whatnot, but are u kidding with this? Durant and lebron would run wild against the 90s era have u seen the competition from back then? Terrible floor spacing and defensive schemes, the 'athletes' are all skinny n weak, and elephant in the room... Lebron and Durant are the size and strength of 90s centers with better quickness, handles, and shooting stroke than the best guards 90s had to offer and yes that includes Jordan who needed a 22 foot 3 pt line and he still shot worse than Durant who is a 7 footer

Barkley physically dominant pf in that era at 6 foot 4... Durant a 7 footer and lebron a 6-9 both sf's in this era... Do I make myself clear? They'd fold the league in the 90s if these two was in it who gonna guard them? Luc longley?
