Gilbert Arenas Thinks LeBron James Would've Been Unstoppable In The 80s And 90s

Gilbert Arenas is certain that LeBron James would have been dominant during the 1980s and the 1990s.

LeBron James is one of the best players to ever play in the NBA. He has dominated the modern era over the last two decades.

There are many who believe that James may not have been as dominant in the league if he had played during the 1980s or the 1990s. However, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas believes James would have been unstoppable in the old era.

"LeBron doesn’t have a ticket in his era. He doesn’t have a ticket in his era. You put him in an era with no media? He doesn't have a ticket. We’re talking about the image we see. You’re talking about the ’80s and ‘90s stopping a 6’10'' 260 man coming downhill? He is the biggest person on the court."

Arenas believes due to LeBron James' height and weight, he would have been a force to be reckoned with in the 1980s and the 1990s.

On top of that, LeBron is one of the smartest players in the history of the league. So, he would have used his intelligence to get the better of his opponents as well. All things considered, James wouldn't have much problem adjusting to the physicality of the older generation.

Gilbert Arenas Thinks Michael Jordan Wouldn't Have Been Perfect Like LeBron James If He Played In Today's Era

Agent Zero is confident that LeBron James can easily adjust to playing in the old NBA if required. But what about Michael Jordan playing in the modern-day NBA?

Well, according to the former Washington Wizards star, Jordan's near-perfect image would be ruined if he played in today's NBA. The reason being Mike's personality, gambling habits, etc.

"If we take MJ and take LeBron and switch them in eras, Michael Jordan’s personality — the way he lived in his life — he will not be perfect like LeBron is. When we’re talking about the whole package. When we’re talking about Ja Morant and the silliness he’s doing and that’s tarnishing his legacy, you take MJ’s personality, the gambling, and all that and put it in this scrutiny? No. He won’t be MJ."

It's a hot take from Arenas. But that's what fans have gotten used to seeing from him. Anyway, he has certainly made everyone think about what would happen if Jordan and James played in each other's eras. It's certainly interesting to think about.
