Pace matters my dude, but you know that

Who is higher on your all time list, Shaq or Hakeem? Just curious

ORtg and DRtg account for pace. That's the whole point, it's per 100 possessions

Objectively I have to rank Shaq higher, although I'd take peak Olajuwon over peak Shaq 100/100 times

If I'm motivated enough tho I could rank Hakeem higher all-time and argue the case

They normalize for pace, that's not an accurate representation for the actual pace played. Which effects effort, a faster pace means more fast breaks and quicker shots in the shotclock which is defended totally different than say a plodding EC game when the 00s Pistons were dominant.

I was comparing Lebrons DRTG to actually great defenders from his own era, which trend in the low to mid 90s.

Kawhi Leonard career yoff DRtg: 102

LeBron James career yoff DRtg: 102
 
But Kawhi is the paragon of defense while Bern is a lazy defender. Got it

It's beyond the level of absurd that we're at a point in this "debate" where you actually have to argue that LMA and LeBron don't have similar bodytypes
 
I think Hunter has really lost touch with reality these days, but because he's such a laid back cat people are hesitant to attack him on his nonsensical posting.

Really just putting out gutter tier posts and relying on good will he has garnered over the years.. I think it's the effect of attending higher learning. It has rotted his brain.
 
Curry hit 9 threes, that's ridiculous

Lebron chooses to lift/juice so using the body type argument is patently absurd. There aren't really any players his exact body type barring Larry Johnson? (A bit shorter), or a C like Mourning or maybe Embiid nowadays. So one then has to go to people with similar size. Most nba players are thin, but Aldridge, Marc Gasol, Embiid, Speights, etc... all weigh more
 
What wing player in the NBA right now has a build resembling lebron? I'm legit asking....bc those people really don't exist
Closest is arguably the shorter Jae Crowder?

Um... this is why Bern is such a freak. Karl Malone’s physique with Shawn Kemp’s athleticism and a mix of Magic and Michael’s skill with arguably the highest BBIQ of all time

BUT he doesn’t shoot that official cutoff standard of 80% FT so he’s good but not great
