Kareem was in his late 30s when they won the back to back. He wasn't exactly 'fresh', they got swept in 1988, and retired a season later. Stop trying to re-write history.
Magic at the very end of his career took the Lakers to the finals while on AIDS medication. Lebron took the Cavs to the finals in the area of his prime. Apples and oranges. The similarities is the fact that the Lakers lost to the best perimeter player to ever play and the Cavs lost to the 2nd best back to the basket player of all time.
Aside from all that, the league wasn't as watered down as it is now. A lot of the top teams in the 80s had multiple hall of fame players and that was just to keep up. Certainly Lebron should be good enough to beat the Magic right? As it stands right now they have 0 hall of famers (Dwight could possibly make it, maybe not) and the Cavs had one when they played (2 the following year). If Lebron had such a horrible team how did they win 60 games? How come they couldn't beat the Orlando Magic who had a team lacking top notch talent outside of one position?
The Magic had HIV card and his old age of 29 years. Spare us.
19/12.5 for the season and he's been healthy for 20 years now.
Kareem old? True but still good and he had Pat Riley, not Greggor Pop knowing how to use him.
Byron Scott, Worthy now who exactly are you spinning is the equal to them on LeBrons Cle team?
