I miss the physical days, the era of Refs controlling/winning games/championships will hopefully end soon.
Go Knicks!

I doubt Lebron has problems powering past Alex Engish, Dominique Wilkins, Bernard King, Larry Bird, James Worthy, Mark Aguirre.

Im not saying he can stop them,but they sure wouldn't be able to stop him. Lebron is 6-8 250

He's bigger then all of the guys above and stronger

Bowen is essentially allowed to play in the 80's. Look what he did to Lebron. Granted, the drop-off wouldn't be as extreme because the Spurs play excellent team D, but still.


That's why MJ would be unstoppable with these rules, and why Nash wouldn't be as effective.

Oh come on even bowen said in an interview it was the whole team clamping down on lebron. Bowen did not guard lebron one on one in that series it really was the spurs vs LeBron.
