That's silly. James is playing in an era where his best competition is old and declining, where the rules have all but eliminated the center position, and where most big men are as soft as Charmin. Bird/Magic/Barkley & Co. were all playing top quality ball at the same time, until injuries and other things interfered, and when quality, tough big men were all over the place.

So basketball was better back then, therefore any comparable player in today's game takes a back seat? Got it, seems reasonable. Let me ask this..... If James got to play with one of those tough quality big men.... how might that help him?
Oh, and every era has old and declining, peak, and up and coming. No different today.
