Lebron Curry vs Nikola Robinson

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

If I give both players Tim Duncan as a teammate then LeBron Curry is better.
If I give both of them only average G-Leage bigs as teamates at center and power forward then Jokic-Robinson is better.

No again.

Of all of the spliced players being proposed here, young LeBron is the only one with a history of taking bums anywhere. I do not agree with your assessment.

LeBron/ Curry would not need a top 10 all time big (a Duncan) alongside him. There is no doubt in my mind that he could make a Theo Ratliff or a Serge Ibaka work.

He/ it would wreck shop with a DeAndre Ayton.
He/ it would still function with a Joel Anthony.

An offensive force like that could make a team of defensive specialists work imo.

Eric Snow/ Delonte West
Klay Thompson/ Aaron McKie
Steames LeCurry
Tyrone Hill/ Shane Battier
Dikembe Mutombo/ Serge Ibaka

That team would wreck other teams (as the top defensive team in the league).

David Robison, I am assuming peak pre-injury Robinson that never played with Duncan could take care of defensive center responsibilities. Tim Ducan could take care of defensive center responsibilities. LeBron Curry could play power forward. My version of peak LeBron has the best of young peak and old peak Lebron. Young peak LeBron can fly arround the opposition Jordan style while old peak LeBron over-powers the opposition Karl Malone style but has lost a bit of Jordan mobility while gaining Malone power. Older LeBron has the strength to box out but is not at Tim Duncan level in shot blocking. Teams have won championships without shot blocking but most championship teams have shot blocking. LeBron might wear down if he was the only good rebounder. LeBron Curry should play witha good defensive center to win a championship. LeBron Curry is a better offensive player than Nikola Robinson but Robinson takes care of that crucial defensive center position.

Let's put it this way.
Nikola Robinson would be mindblowing

Lebron Curry would be a threat from every position on the floor but his skills are only additive until a certain point. It's like giving Shaq 3point range.
I know in a basketball game there are many possessions, at the same time what choices would LebronCurry make during the game? Would he become too mellow with his physical game in favour of shooting?

Adding the best of DRob to Jokic means armoring with GOAT defense and athleticism an already historically good offensive player.

not quite the same, shaq can not play-in the perimeter and do his thingh in the paint simultaneously

but lebron plays from the perimeter,his game is not about being in the paint like shaq and fighting for position, is about going perimeter->paint instead

driving and shooting are 2 offensive skills that feed off each other + lebron passing would make him game breaking

you cannot concede the 3 point shot to lebron any more thst you want to dare curry to make open 3's, which means you have to Choose between giving curry a open 3 shooting line all game long....or giving lebron driving space all game long

is absolutely game breaking even if he doesnt use his 3 as much as curry

Jokic with Robinson's athleticism and defense? I don't think you can get a more perfect basketball player than that.

Ya, give Nikola Robinson someone like prime Green and Lebron Curry someone equivalent to prime Green at C and it would be hard to not give the nod to Nikola. Not sure Lebron Curry dominates prime Green more than Nikola Robinson dominates the equivalent esp considering Green can play in Lebron Curry's face and know he has Nikola Robinson to help at the basket.

LeBron/ Curry would control the game (with the ball in his hands and out) on top of being great on both ends. This player would posses unimaginable versatility.

The book on defending LeBron would make the Curry in him kill you. The book on defending Curry would make the LeBron in him kill you. Those are both guys you require an entire team defensive scheme to contain. The problem is that the scheme for containing each is a scheme you would not dare try on the other.

Trap LeBron beyond the three point line… LOL
Sag on Curry to prevent the drive… LOL

This player is game over.

Nikola/ Robinson is not better then this player. Responses in this thread read like twilight zone fodder.

You can. His name would be Steames LeCurry.
