In the modern NBA, hybrid forwards like Antetokounmpo have been given the license to control every possession, leading to triple-doubles and staggering numbers across the board. However, in the 1970s, point guards were tasked with playmaking duties, with forwards operating out of the post and only catching the ball out of set actions.

LeBron James recently paid Giannis Antetokounmpo a huge compliment, saying he would have dominated past eras of basketball, specifically the 1970s. While he was flattered, Antetokounmpo wasn't sure that was a fair comparison.

LeBron James made many headlines this week when he appeared on ESPN and fanned the flames of his feud with Stephen A. Smith. He also made headlines with a comment about how today's players would fare in the old NBA.
