    I'm partial to Larry, but I enjoyed the video. The problem with matching players from different eras is that the rules and type of play varies enough to almost make it an apples to oranges comparison. The 80s were a much rougher era while the modern game is much more offense-oriented, especially beyond the arc. But that said, I would have had Larry win because I think he would adapt well to the modern game, while KD might have more trouble in the 80s. But as KD himself said, unless we can open a rip in spacetime, there's just no way to know.

      Aye I agree 100% , I feel like older eras such as the 80s n 90s legends would adapt to a more offensive less defensive minded game . And Kareem and wilt would eat people alive in the paint . But only a select few players from late 90s to today could go back to the 70s-80s and find the same success, but then again I know magic Johnson in 1960 would’ve been unstoppable fs

      Bird was a great defender. Great defenders can’t guard KD at all tho

      prolly just an animated 1v1 series and nothing more. if they do off court, it’s most likely set on locker room scenes, trash talking on media day, etc. at least that’s what i hope it’ll be. just straight up basketball themed.
