It makes you appreciate guys like Larry Bird and Allen Iverson who are the rightly considered legends and all-time greats but also have no problems giving today’s players the respect they deserve

[jonesstahlschmidt]

Put kd in any era ever he’s getting arrested for witchcraft and is averaging 30 minimum

People seem to forget that Lebron has played for almost 2 decades. He isn't just a current player, he's been an NBA player for more of his life than he has not.

[vmurda]

The point about great players adapting, lebron came into the league with the three pointer being his main weakness but he's been in the league so long that the three became essential and he developed his game and expanded his range to the half court line. Perfect example of great players being great in any era.

I love that Rasheed and Rodman claimed they would dominate KD, but Kobe said he couldn’t ever figure out how to stop KD.

[kierbot-wvvg]

Wilt Chamberlain has said in some interviews that Jordan wouldn't survive in his era. This bullshit has been going on forever 😂

[asaasahina]

Rasheed Wallace is like that 90s kid born on December 1999 talking about 2000s kids

[aesir]

Dennis Rodman saying someone relies too much on strength and athleticism is hilarious

[ezhilanx]

Bro Rasheed actually talking about a guy who smacked him in the playoffs

[MJR]

damn. Much respect to Gilbert, he’s real asf.

[corvettezusa]

We love the old heads, but it's always great to see someone taking the time to bring their mythical status back down to Earth.

[moodyville]

I used to think this was a a legit arguement until LeBron 2018 happened. That was his physical and mental game peaking at the same time. Simply, unstoppable. Could terrorise any era

[meltgalaxy]

“Great players will excel in any era” best quote of 2021 in terms of basketball

[EJD]

Gilbert Arenas has become one of my favorite NBA guys. He’s so level headed and genuinely funny. I’m 31 so I try to be fair to generations older or younger than me and not be bias about mine. I

[LordOfTheCentipedes]

Rodman’s “make basketball tough again” hat had me laughing 😂

[Mustis]

8:54 i have so much respect for him after that comment! It's really about adapting to the era and the way they play/ed . You can't say "ah this guy couldn't shoot three's so he wouldn't do that well today" or the other way around. If someone from back then practiced shooting three's it would be a completely different story. Same way players today could adapt to the 90's playstyle . Some more, some less

[cassiusfelix]

I don't care what Era we talking about Curry is still getting his points.

[marcherrera]

This is why I liked Kobe cuz he never said this type of stuff he appreciates the players and the game and tried to make basketball better

[alexjenkinson]

If you actually look at league wide scoring through time, you can see that actually the early 90s were way higher scoring than the early 2010s. The only seasons where teams average 101 points or lower per game was a continuous stretch from 1996-2015. That means most of LeBron’s career was in the lowest scoring years in NBA history. Recency bias has made us think he played in high scoring leagues his whole career.

i saw Stephen Jackson on a show once saying Lebron wouldnt last in his era. Stephen Jackson was drafted like 5-6 years before Lebron and they were in the league for 11 years together. Anyone who thinks todays players are soft because of the way they exaggerate fouls must be slow. When you see someone bump Lebrons forearm and he goes flying just think about this: do you really REALLY think a slap on the arm would effect Lebron like that? You think it causes him so much agony that he cant go on? Of course not. They do it because they know more times than not they'll get a foul call because thats how the nba is officiated now. More foul calls = more free throws = more points = more wins = bigger contracts etc. If you took any "tough guy" from the 80's and told them they could go from scoring 17 points per game to 25+ by just exaggerating any contact they receive i guarantee they'd do it. 17 ppg guys make 25 mil a year. 25+ ppg guys make 40 mil and get shoe deals.
