Exactly. Yao was a career 83.3% FT 🔫 as well. At 7'6" 310+ lbs. He'd be a bigger Embiid & in today's game he'd average more assists as well with teams using their BIG's to set up 3pt Shooters.

If Brook Lopez can be in the league, Yao Ming can make it in this league. And you all have no idea how athletic Wilt was when he was young. Imagine Giannis with Lebron power. Let him get the same ball handling training and he would average 30-20 and 5 blocks. He was an absolute freak in any era.

[@Joswag]

He would be the same, especially without Shaq

[@thetramp123]

Would Wilt be better than those guys? Yeah. Wilt was a beast. He wasn't just tall, he was athletic, fast, a menace on the fast break, his great passing tends to be overlooked because of how good of a scorer he was too. He had a sweet midrange fade away bank shot. He would wreck Embiid. He would feast in any era.

[@Balloffamer]

Yes he would dominate, but he wouldnt be as dominant as he was in the 60s

[@jonathanchan1365]

This is only my opinion, it is so hard to judge past players because when I think of them. It's like every thing changes such as the different lifestyles. This era certainly has the most opportunity to be better that's why the league is way talented the previous eras.

[@jonathanchan1365]

Wilt joined the Harlem globetrotters. In like thinking wilt could be like giannis and shaq combined with shooting. Rebounding it's hard to judge. I still have to learn about that era of centers. Ye

Magic is the guy all these point foward style players are trying to emulate. Size,speed, IQ, vision, teams would make take him in any position now as either forward or guard, some teams may even consider him for the center position. Magic would go crazy in this era.

[@the._.ineffable]

You really disappointed me with the kobe take. Didn't even mention the 12 times all defensive team (9 times first defensive team)! He would cook anyone in today's NBA on both sides of the ball 🐐🐐🐐

[@Matthew.Morcos]

Kobe had above average efficiency for his era, but unless he changed his shot selection wildly that would not hold up

[@carlbancoro3042]

Isaac saying he’s complimenting Kobe when in reality it was a backhanded compliment. Kobe’s high post touches would change since there’s no more handchecking before and after he catches the ball; allowing him to feast 1v1 or kick it to the open guy.

[@d3adyoutubeaccount]

Exactly

[@Tylercranberry]

It’s not like he said Kobe would be ass today, I agree with his opinion.

[@lachlaneberle2889]

His shots would also be easier because of the spacing and it would be easier to get all the way to the rack

[@bigwill9027]

[@koketsomodise9502]

Nah I saw a video of Wilt hitting fadeaway bank shots

[@peacemaker4829]

Nash is one of the best players that I think would absolutely excel in this league. The way he plays translates so well. Still not a good defender, but he was a willing defender and that still matters. Nash never backed down from a challenge

[@GoldMoufP]

Magic Johnson today would literally be Ben Simmons (but he actually likes playing basketball)

[@Herzeder]

Nah, peak Ben Simmons (so season 1 to 3) was a better defender than Magic ever was

[@12gark]

Magic would be 2020 LeBron today: best passer in the league with Jokic and Luka, 20-25 ppg, still a nightmare to guard in transition but not as athletic as Miami LeBron. Simmons healthy is a better defender, but Magic was never scared of free throw and scoring in general. And probably an MVP candidate year in and year out.

[@thetramp123]

Disrespectful. Even considering peak Simmons.

[@todd1928]

Magic was a better passer, shooter and finisher then Simmons ever was. Simmons is 6'10 Rondo without the mentality.

[@Balloffamer]

​@@thetramp123 were talking about playstyle here, of course magic is better in career and accolades, but playstyle wise ben simmons or lebron is the closest thing we got

[@Tremestrios-r3n]

realistically, Kobe was such a maniac in the gym that even if he wasn't very good right now, he would be back to 30-40 ppg in 3 years max

[@AzureKite]

Also calling Wilt Chamberlain a run and dunk man is criminal. He purposefully didn't just run and dunk because he thought it would be so easy as to be boring, so he would post dudes up and hit these ridiculous midrange sky hooks just to flex on people. He could shoot from what is today 3 point range, but there was no incentive to shoot from deep in that era because the 3 point line didn't exist.

[@sammysam2615]

Players frkm this era and past eras could flawlessly player in different eras. Not all would thrive. But the hypothetical question absolutely goes both ways. And chucking up 3s doesn't make you a great player. It that's what you're great at, fine. But it makes you a great one trick pony

[@evanperzanowski1413]

Isaac is right on Kobe, the Black Mamba is a Top 10 player who was perfect for his era 👍Also, I found there was a lack or respect for former stars, especially Don's take on Yao. Also, Wilt is CLEARLY better than AD and Joel. Chamberlain was 7'2 with a 48 inch vertical

[@mengsRS]

Afro Kobe would feast in today's league. Bro is a tremendous slasher and atlethic archetype. FroBe will posterize everybody, and he's very good too moving without the ball. Bald Kobe is like Luka Doncic but more atlethic. So yeah every Kobe version in today's league would be a monster.

[@scaryfeministlady371]

Luka doncic is one of the best playmakers of all time Kobe is not even close to that level of playmaking

[@ReillyQuizzle]

I’m glad you guys gave Nash his flowers but it was kind of ruined by the “fraudulent MVP” comment at the end. Mo would have been like 5 years old when Nash was winning MVPs, so please just go back and watch the actual games. Nash and D’Antoni changed the entire meta of the NBA, it was something basketball fans had never seen before. You guys see 18.8 ppg and decide those aren’t MVP numbers, not realizing he only shot the ball like 12 times a game on 50-40-90 shooting; not to mention averaging over 11 assists: those are Magic Johnson numbers (with vastly better efficiency), so Magic’s 1990 MVP was fraudulent as well, right?

[@Somethingrandomlymadeup]

Thank you for the Magic love !!

Larry would look much better in this era. Idk if he would do better though. He had a really stacked team. I mean if you swap JT for him then i don't see a world where they don't 3 peat.

Draymond runs the offense, what are you talking about. He can also attack of the dribble. Not to mention that his type of defense wouldnt work today. He would foul out in like 5 minutes.

Larry Bird in today's era would be Luka but with way better shooting and defence. Imagine having Larry Legend throw up 7-10 + 3s per game

Imagine if Luka was actually an elite shooter, that's Larry Bird. In today's game he'd fight Durant for the title of best 3 level scorer. Add in high level passing, leadership and a ridiculous motor and Luka would never sniff MVP with Bird in the league.

Terrible take on Yao. He could shoot & had decent post moves. Who's guarding him? He was 7'6" 310+ lbs. He'd get to the FT Line more in today's game where he made 83.3% in his career.

[@RoseDuWolfe]

He’d need to lose some weight but Duhon and Jay Williams talked about how Yao was “shockingly good” stepping out onto the perimeter on a switch. I think he could be a really good big if he got that…I would call it conversion kit. He’s a taller (and better) Myles Turner in the modern NBA, considering they had similar foot speed.

[@dionysdumbasschannel7772]

Issac 100% on Kobe. He wouldn't be much, much better in today's era

[@peacemaker4829]

Kobe would definitely be better now. Better footwork than Ant or Shai. He drew a lot of legitimate fouls in an era where they were allowed to be more physical. His efficiency would most definitely go up because he wouldn't beed to shoot so many heavily contested shots, and tge lane would be more accessible to him. Then his competitive nature would excel heavily as well.
