Lebron Steps To Stephen A Smith For Talking About His Son

Right before this they said "Ginnias wouldn't even make a layup in the 80s". This is the ridiculous shit players are talking about.

Steph would play the way they did in that era, the past era wasn't jacking up double digit three point shots. Offenses wasn't run that way

They also weren't jacking up 3s like they are doing now when he first came into the league so I think it's safe to say he still would be the same guy regardless of era
 
For the record imo Steph woulda been very successful in the 80's. He plays like Reggie running off all those screens and has better handles. Rip Hamilton played like Reggie too and it worked. Steph wouldn't be shooting 10 threes a game but he would still be very good. It's crazy to think otherwise.
 


Most of these were regular fouls too

I see a shortened career for Steph having to deal w shit like this on a regular basis

I agree with that comment about Steph. Not so much that he couldn't score a lot back then, but I do think they would have tried to hurt him. Especially in the 80s.

I mean if your only defense to stopping somebody is "I gotta hurt him" then that kinda proves the point of the people on the side of "players today would dominate". I mean saying you gonna rough up Steph is one thing. That fool talking about Giannis not getting layups like a nigga that size playing with them rules wouldn't have been more dangerous than the some of the older players talking shit.

I'm not really sure how that means players today would dominate. It was just an option they had back in the day, so they used it. And yes, Giannis would have had a much harder time playing his game with a clogged lane than he would in today's league. He'd still be good though, especially now that he has a decent mid-range game developing.

Im talking purely from the "we'd just beat them up" talk. If them niggas think playing under those rules where he could also be just as physical that they'd just bully somebody Giannis' size they're lying to themselves.
 
Would Giannis even be lifting weights in the 80's? It wasn't a common practice back then. We could be looking at a skinnier Giannis playing center.

*Not a serious question, just pointing out all the variables with era jumping.
