[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131230328, member: 1812660"] I agree. A player can only play by the rules in place at the time. I mean you can talk about the rough and pounding nature of the old school NBA in Jordan's time. However, Jordan was 6'6, 216lbs while LeBron James is 6'9, 250lbs while being as fast and as agile as Jordan. Now just being physically better doesn't translate lest Terrell Owens or Randy Moss would be the greatest receiver instead of Jerry Rice. Yet, it is not unreasonable to say that LeBron at least has the physical tools and ability to compete in the old school NBA just as Jordan did. I do recognize that at least in the old school there was much more parity rather than the last 10 years or so where only 4-6 teams out of the 30 have a legitimate shot at making the Finals and thus the playoffs are a joke outside of one match-up on each side before the Finals.
