He's a physical freak with the best basketball IQ and vision in the history of basketball. Doing that for 22 years sort of does make you the GOAT.

The game has evolved into lighter, more athletic players who can shoot better at depth but there were still plenty of athletic players in the 80s and 90s who were also much more physical.

Lighter? Absolute nonsense. The entire league is comprised of completely freak athletes now who are 6'7, 250 pounds at a minimum.

I'd love to see how Lebron would fare against the '90s Pistons. I guarantee you 100%, his ass wouldn't be as physically impressive against them as he is against the skinny boys today.

LeBron was bigger, stronger, and faster than all of those Pistons. He'd have completely torched them. Hell, the game when LeBron was drafted in 2003 was effectively in slow motion compared to what it is today. He's played for so long at such a high level now that he's seen an entire shift in how the game is played and was dominant in all variations of it.
