Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James addressed the narrative comparing modern NBA players to those from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, expressing skepticism about the criticism of current superstars.
James argued against the belief that modern players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, known for his prowess attacking the paint, wouldn't succeed in past eras, exaggerating that Antetokounmpo could score 250 points in a game during the 70s.
Antetokounmpo humorously countered by joking he might score 275 points, emphasizing the evolution of the game and the unfairness of comparing different eras.
