Um... Ever heard of Gail Goodrich? L.A. High School Player of the Year 1961 His H.S. team undefeated his senior year. Scored 29 points in the city final. 1963-64 his UCLA team was undefeated, 30-0, and won Nat. Champs. Next year they won again and Goodrich scored 42 in the final game against Michigan. As a 6 foot tall guard.
Lakers 1971-72. Goodrich averaged 26 per game and Lakers won 33 games in a row. Won the NBA Champ. in 5 games against the Lakers. Had there been a 3 pt. shot then he would have ave. over 30/game, easily.
BTW Goodrich actually DRIBBLED the ball. That is he kept his hand on top the ball as the rules stated. He didn't palm every dribble and carry the ball which nowadays accounts for many player's 'great moves'.
Attn NBA, START CALLING PALMING THE BALL.
I think he is more famous for the tire company he started after retirement.

Not to mention the blimp.

Curry's the best three-point shooter ever. James and Durant can do more things and are better all-around players.

Oh please. Perimeter defense sucked during Jordan's time. Defenses then were slow & post focused. Today's NBA is fast paced, perimeter focused, guard focused making it much harder for shooters. Defenders today would be all up in Jordan's face making him fire off more air balls than you could imagine.
Go back and watch the film, junior.
That finals matchup with clyde drexler showed just how deadly Jordan was from outside.
And the defense then was better than today's wussy ball. The pistons would have knocked curry out of games with their rough play.
Laimbeer and Rodman would tear LeBron up.

LeBron outweighs Pistons-era Rodman by 40 pounds and probably gives up little in terms of speed and quickness. Laimbeer was a punk, hated around the league. He also wasn't nearly as strong as LeBron and would just be more cannon fodder. The idea that smaller, slower, far less skilled players could cheap shot their way to victory against today's greats is repugnant, but not much can be expected from a fan of Laimbeer.

re: Wise old coach

A truly great player, Larry Bird, despised Laimbeer's cheap shot-fake-tough-guy antics, singling him out to this day as the worst goon in the NBA:

True greats like Bird and MJ despised the turn the league took in the late 80s and 90s to thug ball. They'd actually try to beat LeBron on talent, not cheap shots. The NBA game is ten times better today than in, say, 1995.
