where would he have ended up?

I'm putting him solidly in between Xavier McDaniel and Dominique.

Slightly better than X-man but not nearly as good as 'Nique.

Opinions?

PS - Yes, I think he could have eclipsed Thurl Bailey.

That's actually a good comparison though I too will take The Round Mound of Rebound's fire and passion over 'Bronbron all damn day. Sorry.

Another question:

The '15 Cavs play the '92 Bad Boyz. What happens (besides 'Bronbron leaving the series in an ambulance)?

Run'em outta the gym of course...

The Worm (in his prime) on 'Bronbron, with thee legit 7-footers begging him to drive the lane.

Yeah, that star would have faded fast.

Adrian Dantley is actually a very accurate player to compare 'Bronbron to. :nod: Really, really good but not great. Not a 'Nique or Mailman type of great player.

Mailman didn't really hit his prime till the 90s.

But Malone > Lebron easily.

People forget that it wasn't only the defense that was allowed to be more physical back then. I wonder if allowing physical play would benefit someone built like LeBron? :think:

Yeah, that start would have faded fast.

He was 210. Get big son, Lebron is 250. So if we are playing this hypothetical game then Lebron has the late 80's Cavs roster around him, correct?

He has shooters everywhere Kerr, Price, Elho...some legendary ones.
And two 7 footers in Daughtry and Nance.

It would be no contest, the "Bad Boy" Pistons would get destroyed. Most likely in 4.

Shit, that means Kerr stays on the Cavs for his whole career and wins titles with LBJ instead of MJ. Interesting

If Karl Malone played right now, he'd be the highest paid athlete alive and would get the recognition he's due. He's top 10 all-time easily.

Anyone who's seen bball of the 80s, onwards knows that this decade (2010 till now) is pathetically weak when it comes to superstars.

Lebron, Curry, Harden and Westbrook don't hold a candle against Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan. Or even Jordan, The Dream, Shaq, Mailman and The Glove of the 90s.

:crazy:

How drunk are you right now?

The Bad Boyz beat the Showtime Lakers AND Jordan's Bulls but would get swept by 'Bronbron's Cavs.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. :twitch:
