As both Joel Embiid and LeBron James have said, young Wilt Chamberlain was “so freaking athletic he would dominate any era”. There is no way Michael Jordan would beat a 25 year old Wilt Chamberlain in a game of basketball one-on-one. Wilt Chamberlain was once asked this question. When the Stand atlantic is a sexuality shirt Apart from…,I will love this interviewer suggested that maybe Michael Jordan could take Chamberlain in a game of one-on-one. A surprised Wilt said, “Let me ask you this. If you think Michael Jordan in his prime could beat me in my prime, how much money would you be willing to bet on it? As a teenager still in high school, LeBron James was already being projected as a kid with NBA Hall of Fame potential. He was THAT good. As a grown man, James is 6′8″, 250lbs of chiseled muscle that can play all five positions. He has incredible court vision. His athletic and versatile playing style is similar to Hall of Fame guards such as Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. He can over power the quick players and run circles around the slower, more powerful players. James is smart and makes other players around him better, just as 11 time champion Bill Russell was famous for doing in the 60’s as the leader of the Boston Celtics. LeBron would instantly make any team he joined a contender for the title, just as he does now. There is a reason LeBron has been to eight straight finals with two different teams, and it’s not just because the Eastern Conference is weak. James & his squad in the 1960’s would have been a major problem for any team he played against, including Russell’s Celtics.
LeBron’s biggest problem would be adjusting to the Stand atlantic is a sexuality shirt Apart from…,I will love this different rules of the era. The most difficult adjustment would be how traveling and blocking fouls were called then. Officiating in these areas was MUCH more strict. Under 1960 rules, LeBron travels every time he touches the ball. He frequently throws a pass out away from defenders to himself to escape double teams, always carries (or palms) the ball every time he does a cross over and usually takes more steps after picking up the dribble than the rules from 50+ years ago would allow. They also were much more strict on calling offensive fouls, especially charging. LeBron can finesse, but a big part of his game is his physicality. In the NBA of the 1960’s, players like Wilt Chamberlain could not come close to getting away with the physical bullying that guys like Shaquille O’Neal & Boogie Cousins were permitted to do decades later. Here is a good video demonstrating the different officiating.
