Look at the physical differences between the players in this video vs the players in the NBA today These guys would lose to a G-league team

@HardwoodReportX The 3 best players in the league are built like this. What are you even talking about 😂🤭

@HardwoodReportX Magic Johnson and Kareem would “lose to a G-league team.” “Hardwood Report X” may have some cognitive difficulties.

😂

@HardwoodReportX Playing by 80s rules, that 80s Laker team would sweep today’s Lakers. Playing by today’s rules, that 80s Laker team would sweep today’s Lakers.

@HardwoodReportX Since the modern age player now routinely is in the weight room 3 days a week, you need to “adjust” your thinking to what these players like with this training. Imagine a buff Kareem. Magic and Worthy are 6’9”…they would kill it.

I don’t doubt that

@HardwoodReportX @johnmcerra So... why would you post this?

@HardwoodReportX @johnmcerra I think he's saying that if a G-League team hypothetically time traveled back to this era and played this team with their 1980s workout regiment they'd win. (Not saying I agree or disagree)

@gbmsimoes @johnmcerra ^

@HardwoodReportX @grub3702 @gbmsimoes @johnmcerra You can’t alter reality to fit your narrative. That’s the point. These players vs our players, as they are, would not stand a chance.

@HardwoodReportX @grub3702 @gbmsimoes @johnmcerra Today’s players aren’t built to endure 48 mins of old school physicality……….

@qns1104 @HardwoodReportX @grub3702 @gbmsimoes Why do these “different eras” questions get some complicated. The gene pool didn’t “get better.” But nutrition, training and medicine do. Modern players should get no credit for these improvements.

@HardwoodReportX Not all players looked like that.

@HardwoodReportX You really think the 83 lakers with 6 HOF players including Kareem and Magic would lose to a G league team? This team beats most NBA teams today, all of them if played by 80s rules.

@HardwoodReportX Magic beat AIDS. LeBron would flop at the mention of it.

😂😂😂

@HardwoodReportX Actually those guys would be just as big as players today if they played today.

@HardwoodReportX Yet today’s game is exponentially worse…

@HardwoodReportX That’s like looking at the ‘86 Mets with Strawberry and Hernandez, or the 49ers with Montana/Rice/Lott/Craig and comparing how they would do vs today’s teams. It’s a nonsensical argument…

The 1984-85 Lakers shot .545 from the field as a team, and averaged 118 points a game. And here is a pic of Julius Erving from about 50 years ago, and of Spencer Haywood from about 55 years ago. You know when plumbers and electricians played in the NBA.

@HardwoodReportX Don’t be late for home room and good luck on your Algebra test today

@HardwoodReportX Anyone who believes Kareem, Magic and Worthy, Coop couldn’t play in today’s NBA and excel is absolutely delusional

@HardwoodReportX The 80s players were also far more skilled after playing three or four years of college basketball.

@HardwoodReportX Nate Thurmond has a lot to say about this post.

@HardwoodReportX Absolutely idiotic take. I used to watch the "Showtime Lakers" when I lived in Southern California. They would run most of today's teams out of the gym and then in the half court they had to cope with Kareem's "sky hook."

@HardwoodReportX Just a ridiculous take. If they had all the methods, facilities, technology available now, they would be just as athletic or more than now.

I didn’t say that wasn’t true

@HardwoodReportX Wilt made Arnold look tiny and held his own vs 7’4 525 lb Andre the giant. He’s not scared of Wemby.

@HardwoodReportX Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Michael Cooper would not lose to a G-League team.

@HardwoodReportX Utah jazz karl Malone . 80s and 90s

@HardwoodReportX Are you retarded? Either these players are playing now and bulked up because they’re a part of a 2025 diet and training regime and kill current NBA players OR current NBA players go back in time a shrink because they no longer have the diet and exercise regime…and get killed.

@HardwoodReportX

@HardwoodReportX 🤣🤣😂😂

@HardwoodReportX You gotta be 5’2 and never played a lick of hoops in your life, straight keyboard critic 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

@HardwoodReportX Another dumb comment by a troll! 🧌

@HardwoodReportX What a fucking clown post. 🤡 Really? And you had to use the Showtime Lakers as your video?

@HardwoodReportX This team would bloody and pummel skinny players . Different game they played rollerball damn near

@HardwoodReportX Today’s players would never score, they’d be called for traveling/carry everytime down the court. Wilt Chamberlain would average 50/25 in today’s game because of the rules, and lack of defense.

@HardwoodReportX You are nuts! You’re talking bout Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Silk & even Rambis. What a team. Not to even mention the Celtics or the Pistons.

@HardwoodReportX They made the same money as g league players today

@HardwoodReportX Like this softy from the 80s....🤣

@HardwoodReportX Can Luka even dunk? Has Jokic ever blocked a shot? We measure his vertical in inches right? Has Jokic ever even lifted a weight beyond some Kielbasa?

@HardwoodReportX Please don’t reproduce

damn bro😂

@HardwoodReportX Imagine if the Showtime Lakers had the sports science and technology these athletes have today. Imagine being that talented without all the benefits in sports today.

@HardwoodReportX There’s still NEVER BEEN another 6-9 point guard since Magic. Kareem’s skyhook is the only indefensible shot EVER. There’s two guys that could absolutely hold their own in today’s game. Not to mention Worthy. That’s over 40-years ago. Is Nikola some physical specimen? Hardly…
