Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2868902, member: 767"] I agree on Lebron. But I'm also not sure that guys like Kareem and Jordan changed the game that much. Those guys were just way better than everyone else, right? Similar to Lebron; if you're 6-9 275 and a world class athlete who also has maybe the best feel for the game ever, well, that guy is going to be an all time legend, but it's not totally like you can model someone else to be like him. It's possible the two guys who have changed the game the most ever are Wilt (increasing the size of the lane) and Steph. Maybe you could argue Jordan was a big reason they laxed the hand checking rules? I keep thinking about this. Lebron's biggest legacy when it comes to how "the game" changes may be him making it more acceptable for star players to move from team to team? I dunno; maybe Durant doesnt leave OKC for GS if Lebron hadn't already gone to Miami. Seems like it's way more a thing now than before 2010. [/QUOTE]
