Back then you got called for travelling if you simply do a Euro-step. That's how tight it used to be. In fact NBA specifically installed this 012 dribbling rule just for Lebron so he could get away with travelling. Of all the players considered top 10 ever, Lebron has the poorest fundamentals.

Not only the illegal defense that made help defense/doubling alot harder but also the players on average have only gotten more quicker, faster, more athletic overall. And 6'6 -6'7 has always been the average height in the NBA, but it used to be that perimeter players were smaller and the bigs were bigger but slower, so Jordan didn't deal with alot of great 6'6 and over perimeter defenders on him who were quick and athletic compared to most guys that size today. The idea that players were better in the 80s and 90s is illogical. Basketball has only gotten more popular around the world. The pool of talented players worldwide has only gotten bigger. It's much harder to go pro now even with expansion. Jordan was the guy with an iPod when everyone else had a Walkman . Evolution works like that, there's one product or person that comes along so unique and evolved that dominates the competition but then over a 10 year span the market catches up so "ipod" no longer looks that special, the process begins again with another generational upgrade. When Russell retired he was the goat after the 69 season Kareem retired he was the goat after the 89 season Jordan was the goat when he retired after the 98 season. Lebron will be the goat whenever he retires, But in 15 to 20 years someone will replace him.

Bro i hope someone can make a video on this because JJ kinda runs away with a theoretical 🤦‍♂️ Illegal defense was not getting called for leaving your man and letting every player just do 1v1s. This was a rule against camping no man's land and cutting off passing lanes. This was not very frequently called, so much so that players stuck to their man very loosely and can most certainly contest drives and commit double and even triple teams. There is even a 1987 article detailing Jordan having to get by double and triple teams to get a 37.1 ppg average. You even just watch the games, you would know this was common for him to deal with. I mean, MJ literally became a steals leader so many times because bro LEFT HIS MAN to sneak up on the player with the ball and steal it or cut off passing lanes. I mean come on bro, stop talking in hypotheticals. Why physical defense and hand checks get brought up so much is because drives in modern nba are uncontested. Bron has gotten used to having no opposition when starting a drive because there is such a high risk of a foul getting called on the defense. Touching and tracking your opponent made you more of a threat than just dancing in front of your opponent during the 90s. It was so much harder to build momentum for a drive, and you would still be having a series of hands to dodge, or just straight getting tackled. This made having a mid range CRITICAL. Having these looming threats made it vital to have a solid jumper for these deep 2s... and guess who had those? I can tell you now, it wasnt bron. You want to talk hypotheticals, MJ would have a field day with no handchecking and spread out defense. Who cares if he would have more double teams? The free drives to the basket make it so much easier. Lebron however? His mid range is not his shining attribute. That leaves a hypothetical just that: a hypothetical and nothing more. Also, bad example with the Suns. Yeah, watch that series. And you tell me why mike averaged 40. I can tell you now, if that defense represented the league as a whole, there would be no GOAT debate. MJ would have a CAREER average of 40 ppg, and contest the scoring record without playing for 2 decades. Everyone knows not every 90s defense was the pistons. Thats common knowledge. But to talk about rules the way you would imagine them in your head vs how the actually played out... to put lebron on a pedestal like that? It's just feyed ignorance.

I played when there was hand checking, and few young people today (and to many older heads like idiot Stephen A.) don't seem to understand what it was. It did NOT mean you could hold your man (though of course people tried to get away with that). I meant that when you were defending off ball, mostly weak side, you could have your head turned over your shoulder to the ball, while you tracked your man by placing your hand on him (not to hold, but to know where he was). That's it. Is it harder to defend when you have to keep your eyes on your man and the ball at the same time? Sure. Is it massively different? No.

@Flamangatang

That is so far off from the correct definition of hand checking. Hand checking has nothing to do with off the ball. It was about placing you hand (later forearm) on the hip of a player with the ball. If you were strong enough you could slow them down or throw their balance off which allowed you to stay in front. That’s what old heads mean when they say “Physical defense”. You were able to bump with your arms and even your hips on the perimeter. Those are all fouls now.

Jordan always lifted his pivot before he dribbled out of the post. It was how he always got around his 1v1 defenders. People don't talk about that ever.

Dumb sh!t from JJ Harder fouls? JJ is one of the softest nba dudes ever. He, personally would never have been drafted only being able to shoot. Stop.....he's been universally clowned for this & his plumber takes. They may have had plumbers in the 50s or 60s but he knows very little history.

The physicality would destroy Leflop. How do you think he's lasted 20 years? He's in an ass soft ass era. 😂

Saying that acting like he was drafted in 2016. He's 6'9, 265 and been playing was an MVP in the 2000s, and been playing since 2003. If Tim Duncan, Kobe, etc played in such an "tough era" how did LeBron play in an "soft" era.😂😂😂

jj might know a thing or more better than steven a...he actually played in this league :)

Basketball players have decreased on average in height the last 10 years dramatically. It’s called the small hall era

No it’s remained the same because there’s 6’6-6’10 guards running around on every team

​@@ballerez7889No, they aren't

The difference is, in 90s you could play more aggressive defense. Fouls were still called but it was harder for an offensive player to get a rhythm. Now, honestly they don’t even play aggressive enough for the ref to blow the whistle. They get foul calls retreating from a driving player with an empty lane. Give up 40 points in a quarter and have 1 team. You not even trying.

This guy is hilarious!

I second that hilarious.

The 90s defense was very weak. Jordan was wide open 85% of the time.
