He's right. Players are substantially more athletic and skilled today.

That's true but today's NBA flops a lot and cries for fouls all the time which doesn't help the case.

OF course they couldn't. They'd be in their 60's and 70's right now.

Even more reason older players couldnt hang. They allowed more physical contact back then but the game has been made safer.

Well, yah. They played basketball back then and now its just who can make the most 3s. This era would get absolutely shit on if they played back then with those players and rules.

Its case against what lol. Dudes that could only dribble with one hand or guys that were plumbers and shit in their off days?

The NBA is way more skilled than it's ever been and it'll be more skilled in 20 years. Training has improved and guys can do way more things then they ever could and come back from injuries that could end a career in less than a year.

JJ Redick disagrees. He says most current NBA players could play in any era.

If you're gonna categorize it as 50s through 70s then I kinda agree. It's usually not them saying it though. People are usually talking about the big shots from the 90s where I feel like the average skill level was higher than it is today.

Lebron would still dominate any era. The literal only defense they had to skilled players was to literally attack them.

Physical and mental toughness. I mean I don't disagree with you. Giannis would murder any dude back in the 80s and 90s.

I don't think fighting and playing through injuries makes you tough. Larry Bird had his career shortened because he played through back injuries he shouldn't have played through.

Plus whenever you hoop at the gym its always the shittiest dude who does the hardest fouls because they get insecure about being bad. Its so mentally weak to get upset that someone is showing you up.

I can totally see LeBron playing against the late 80s/early 90's Pistons:

He's right to the extent that today's players might be more skilled, but they're Charmin Ultra Soft. I don't know if any current player would be able to handle the Bad Boy Pistons
