LBJ is the fastest big man to EVER play the game! He is fast enough to keep any man smaller from getting to the basket, thus a small man must beat him with the outside shot and NEVER miss, because he will NOT rebound against James. The arguments of Jordan beating him are negated when the fact that James has guarded and shut down Kobe, the image of Jordan can't beat him to the basket! This means that Bird nor Magic could get to he basket consistently enough to score! For guy's Bigger than James, like Kareem, Wilt, Shaq - How in the hell are they going to dribble from the top of the key all the way to the basket and outsize him? They don't get the ball at the damn Post, so they sure as hell won't get down low! On offense, James has proven that the greatest athletes that the world of basketball has ever seen cannot stop him one on one. Not a single one. So, put MJ (which was proven by Kobe) on James and he will back him all the way to the basket and kill them. No little man alive could possibly stop him when all he has to do is turn his back to them and then just start backing up! As for bigger men, the greatest to ever play, Wilt and Russell, two of the greatest athletes of all time, they do not have the speed to stop him when starting at the top of the key. Let's be real, no one in today's game, who are far superior athletes just because of training and genetics can stop him, there sure as hell no one from yesteryear that can! This is a ridiculous argument for the LBJ haters. He is the greatest force in basketball today. He is unstoppable today! So how could athletes of any other era, stop him?

As for "if the old athletes of yesteryear had the same training, diet, etc..." well, they didn't so we DON't KNOW! But we can look at what the most gifted athletes to ever be put on a basketball court can do now, and they can't stop him, then it is not possible to even consider that those with the training they had at their time, could possibly compare if they were suddenly dropped into our time!

What could Wilt, Oscar, Russell, George Mikan, Dolph Schayes, Kareem, even MJ do with today's opportunities???? We will never know! So you can only argue what they did during their time!

In 20 years, there will be a new guy that LBJ would have had NO CHANCE of beating! In 50 years, there will be a new guy! In 100 years......
