Duncan, Dirk, Kobe, Garnett, Durant, Westbrook, Dwight, Rose, Curry, Paul, Griffin, Pierce, Rondo, etc., etc. Several in this list are or will be in the top 30 players all time when their careers end. Duncan, Dirk, Kobe are all top 10 - 20 players all time already. And if anyone thinks that defenses from any era could deal with a 6'9, 270 athletic freak with handles, a decent shot, great vision and overall basketball insight then they're out of touch. And that's on the offensive end. If a defensive player was allowed to be more physical.....can you imagine trying to score with LeBron defending you? |

Yes, the handcheck rules are important. LeBron is a sure-handed ballhandler so it wouldn't lead to as many turnovers, but I can tell you a few things. If LeBron charged the lane, there would be bodies and enforcers sending him a message in ways you can't today. Handchecking would make it really hard to finish at the basket, which means LeBron would have to rely a lot moreso on his jumpshot. And LeBron would be facing teams like the Spurs that hustle and pass the ball almost every night. It's why I can't stand it when people assume that LeBron would dominate a different era. Nobody knows. He's a hell of a player and would do well in any era. But ridiculous to suggest that he's had a much easier time. |

Since KCC loves stats so much. Pts. in the finals:
MJ: 35 games 30+ 23 35+ 13 40+ 6 20 and under 0 Times Kobe: 37 Games 30+ 13 35+ 2 40+ 1 20 and under 8 Times Lebron: 27 Games 30+ 7 35+ 2 40+ 0 20 and under 8 Times |

But yes, impressive. Posting point totals without any context, without any indication of efficiency, and without any of their other numbers accumulated during those games. We're really looking at the height of basketball analytics here. |

And if that's the way you wanna go it just further adds to my argument that Lebron has been passive in most of his finals games and doesn't get aggressive when he needs to. If his team is so bad, why is he continuing to rely on his teammates? Why can't he take over the game for 4 quarters like those guys did? |

Interesting debate. However, I'm not sure Kobe belongs in the same sentence with Jordan or LBJ.
