Antonio McDyss (sp?) was 6’10” and had something like a 42-44 inch vertical. Shawn Kemp? Shawn Marion?! Scottie Pippen was north of a 40 as well. Karl Malone was such a tank it’s off the charts how solid he was and his workout routine was known across the NBA and other sports as pure insanity. Allen Iverson? There is NO ONE in the NBA as quick as he was. He was a top 5 HS football player just like Lebron was. today there are a TON of great athletes and yesterday there were too. I’m not saying today’s players are NOT athletic but it’s pure insanity to say the 80s and 90s didn’t have good athletes. That’s nonsense. Of course there were amazing athletes in the 80s, but top to bottom it wasn't the same. The advances we've made in nutrition and excercise science in the past 40 years has made the league more athletic top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly if they played by the rules of the past. Steph never has been a primary defender of Lebron in the Finals like Hornaceck was for Jordan.

More, sure, but Hornaceck still matched up to him a fair amount. I doubt in four times the Warriors have played against LeBron in the Finals they ever had Curry matched up on LeBron; if Curry has guarded him it's been a switch or transition. The Warriors have three elite defenders they can put on LBJ, plus Durant the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of who they are, matching up a not-overly-big guard against a 6'8" forward isn't going to work all that well. I'd say the Warriors would take the same approach with Jordan's Bulls. Keep Klay/Green on Jordan, Curry on Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
