Imagine LeBron taking on the 80's Pistons? They would make him their b**** lol

The mere fact, regardless anything else MJ has ever done, that he beat those Pistons and the Pistons 2.0 (aka the 90's Knicks) makes him GOAT. Nowadays, you can't breathe on a superstar without a foul call.

You want to know why LeBron is a freight train? Because he can. Defenses would have LeBron on his BACK in the 80's, 90's. No way would they give him the red carpet to the basket like defenses have to do now.

After the Spurs dominated with defense and ratings plummeted because the general American audience are idiots, it's no secret Stern wanted higher scoring and less defense now which is why he completely watered down the game to allow the likes of LeBron to dominate. Why do you think the NFL has loosened up their defensive rules. Think about the live ball vs. dead ball era in MLB. Scoring sells, defense does not. The game is much easier to dominate now than even just 10 years ago.

Bottom line: If MJ played today facing the loose defense LeBron plays now, MJ would average 40 ppg easily...

It seems there is only one thing that we ALL can agree in this board: MJ is the G.O.A.T.

"The way we did it was a lot harder. Having Yao [Ming] go out [due to injury] around the 12th game and Dikembe [Mutombo] filling his role was huge for our team. And we didn't have three guys making $100 million." - Tracy McGrady

Funny how the press release reads "Bynum to have season ending surgery" when his season never began...
