LeBron James explains the difference between past NBA eras and now: “Playing 82 games in the ’90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s.” 👀👑 🏀

The game is not different. Court is the same length, rim is the same height, ball is the same size and weight. All he really saying is lower your expectations as fans, which me myself will never do.

Only difference is todays players have grown soft

It’s not different. 30 minutes x 82 games = 41 hours a season for 20-30 year olds? Less than a work week for $M’s. Travel? Are you flying the plane? Y’all can buy this BS but I’m on a budget.

Yeah now y'all got steroids to recover faster between games

Toughest NBA player who ever lived according to LeBron…

How can you comment on 90’s ball when you never played in the 90’s and today’s NBA nobody plays defense. Labozo stop making excuses on why you haven’t caught up to Jordan in rings MVPs the list goes on and on 🤣

@KingJames wtf you talking bout thats why this nigga is not a g.oa.t. please retire and gtf off my team you haven't done shit since 2020.

He's right , I. The 1990's weee more physical , more hand checking and less flopping ! @KingJames clown 🤡

This dude is so pathetic to be so gifted with such athleticism and yet to be some female too bad you didn’t have a dad you would’ve been built differently not like a chic

LeBron sound dumb as hell, I was hoping it was AI 🤖, because the NBA was much more Rougher and Tougher in the 80s and 90s than it is in the 2020’s……if you breathe on a player to hard in the 2020s refs blowing the whistle!!!

There's litterly no defense played in the NBA now.

Shhhhhiiiiiiiiddd‼️Y’all just soft no way you would’ve played 82 games in the 80-90’s those boyz would’ve took his heart they were hand checks, the hard fouls back then they call it flagrant fouls now and let’s not mention all the floppin that get called the game is finesse now

With all the flopping he does, he wouldn’t hang in the 90’s Basketball Era.

The pace bruh shut up all these 3s yall shoot Bruno tired of Lebron James trying to alter the game for himself.

Bull shit

The game is SOOOOO soft today, it’s hilarious. You breathe on a player today, it’s a foul. Defense no longer exists. They eliminated 50% of the actual game making today’s game FAR easier on the body and far easier to play, score, etc. Here’s some proof.

This dude is ruining any Legacy he had. This year has been a disaster reputation wise for him. He’s done. Burnt out, doesn’t care and has no respect for the game. Embarrassing effort most of the season.

People in the comments who never played a day in all 4 mentioned decades:

CB would have destroyed in todays games.

I cant wait for him to retire. The pace is fast cause he don't play defense ..ijs

I want Dennis to guard LeBron for 1 game with 90’s rules.

80s pace was 101 Modern pace is 99.6

Sounds like he is making it seem as if it's harder now. Lmao. With all the technology to connect with family at home at any time and entertainment and luxury. Stop it. Not even gonna get into load management and physicality

James is the reason I stopped watching the NBA. I remember watching his first game against the Kings thinking I was watching the first game of the greatest player’s career. Greatest disappointment. Greatest sell out. Greatest flopper. James destroyed the NBA.

Yeah, the game was better 30-40 years ago.

Has he lost his mind???????????? Games were a lot closer & rougher back then. He’s a chump making excuses.

These boys don’t even play defense wtf is talking about what it is that these mofos don’t train properly all bands shit don’t work them soft ass 30-40 min half speed sessions don’t work that’s why they having these soft tissue injuries

We all saw who and how they played only kids are his super fans anybody born before 90s know the level of competition mj v Detroit pistons that bad boys come on tell u who never flopped tho players in the 90s

He dont even belive what he saying..and pulling up so many threes slows down the game.

Ehhhhh The pace was FAST in the 80’s

since lebron got into the league the players are paid way more on average and have significantly better recovery options and medial tech. y'all are supposedly superior athletes now compared to the "plumbers" back then yet yall can't average playing more than 65 games per player?

Bro just retire already. The game is different for you because of your age. Face it brother,your making yourself look bad and everybody over look your greatness.... Stop making excuses and do your fans a favor. Retire........
