“I’m trying to figure out this era that he’s talking about. But I don’t care if it’s George Mikan’s era, Bill Russell’s era, Dr J’s era, Bird and Magic Johnson’s era, Michael Jordan’s era, there’s no era that LeBron James wouldn’t be dominant in.”

This comment coming from someone like Wallace was certainly polarizing. While Wallace did start his career in 1995, he did face off against Bron for 9 long seasons. In these games despite being pipped against a tough Pistons side, an athletic LeBron obliterated defenses with his dynamic drives to the basket. This was evident in 2007 Eastern Conference Finals as well when LBJ bullied his way through Wallace and the Pistons.
