[Yahoo Sports] Kenny Smith: Houston is the must-watch team in the 2nd half.

I've been saying that for a long time.

 

he doesnt rely on power, he just happens to possess it. if he wasnt as powerful he would still be 6'8 and fast so he would still be effective. what a ridiculous argument that lebron couldnt dominate because the 80s were physical. if they were so fundamentally sound why couldnt they D up without fouling ? how can anyone seriously believe stars today couldnt do the same things or more in the 80s ? what a joke. lebron would dunk all over lamebeer and have his nuts in his face. they had to foul hard and cheapshot because thats the only way they could hope to stop anyone.

 

have you even seen lebron play? he powers his way to the basket.

i didnt say he wouldnt do well. but theres no way he'd dominate the way you anticipate

they could b/c the game was more physical back then.

btw, you still havent named any elite wingmen from back then who shoot free throws as poorly as lebron.

b/c the game was more physical back then. havent you heard speculation that if the eighties jordan were playing in today's game, he'd average around 50?

at the very most, that would happen one time. if lebron tried to do it again on laimbeer, he'd end up on his back every single time.

the game was more physical back then. which is precisely why lebron wouldnt be as effective as he is now.
