2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[moe200069]

I've seen this floating around Twitter today. Honestly, I think LeBron would last a couple of rounds. Keep in mind that LeBron is an elite athlete in his own right, he's a foot taller than Mike Tyson and has a much longer reach. How often do boxers fight opponents who are a foot taller than them?

Also, assuming LeBron dedicated himself 100% to boxing I would imagine he would transform his body to be heavier. Mike Tyson via TKO in round four

the dude who got put on the deck by an inadvertent finger would last 4 rounds?

iron mike would have triple vision bron staring into the 6th dimension in the first minute

 

[freeze]

Ain't even one of the top 5 boxers ever. He was essentially washed by his mid 20s and lost to the all-time great heavyweights from his era (Lewis, Holyfield). Record built of knocking out scrubs. Very aggressive style and a scary dude in his prime but far from the GOAT.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Stick to struggling to understand basketball.

We talking bout Tyson vs Lebron? Well, the off-season moves were fun..

Yall had the literal same discussion in here already and it's a dumb one to entertain

That’s like saying prime Lebron vs Mike Tyson with 2 years of basketball training

 

[casper90403]

such disrespect to the sport of boxing to think any elite athlete could train for 2 YEARS and hang a couple of rounds with Iron Mike. WHAT?!?!

You definitely got no hands and can't fight

Prize fighters are built different. Combat sports is just a whole different level.

They could put rules where Mike can't punch above the nipples and Lebron still wouldn't last man.

It's honestly not that far fetched of a claim as much as I love Mike (wearing an Iron Mike shirt now as we speak )

2 years dawg!!! I cant even believe what I read.

Thats top 10 most outlandish things ever said on NT. Easily.

Gif reminds me of when someone on here said DWade would beat Floyd in a street fight because he could pick him up and throw him.

I'm positive I hate Bieber.

[HIM]

That’s such a ridiculous question.

a better question is. Tyson with 6 months with Drew Hanlen vs Prime Bron. Who wins a 1 v 1 up to 11? 1’s only

Thats Kate McKinnon from SNL standing behind Floyd.

Hell, that might make it worse. All rib shots? CotDAMN.

You have Mike Tyson as the GOAT?

Ahead of Floyd, Ali, Ray Leonard, Marciano, Holyfield, Joe Louis, Roy Jones? Because he's "scary" right?

There are so many boxers who held titles longer, fought and beat better fighters in their era and won across multiple weight classes. It's crazy to have Mike in your top 5, much less the GOAT.

The mythos, fame and fear of Tyson are all bigger than the actual figher. What other all-time great fighter did Mike beat in their prime?

Lebron wouldn't last 2 rounds with Chris Arreola. Dont even need to be Mike Tyson

🗣 MODS!!!

[niceshoes247]

My bad
Should I step on my shoes
Give em to u

 

[akajae]

Can Lebron beat CM Punk?

 

[Nipsey3000]

Mike Tyson in his absolute prime would've killed any fighter not named Cassius Clay... Including Muhammad Ali

Imo

 

[elpablo21]

Tyson rep was only built on "fear"

I'm not even calling him the GOAT. But to diminish the skill, athleticism and talent he had in his prime just to justify Bron after two years of training would last 4 rounds is crazy.

Two years without sparring with anyone close to his speed and power. Mike would take that lead foot from Bron, gain inside advantage and ball game.

**** an early jab might change everything before that

 

[datznasty]

Mike Tyson gonna get a yeast infection in somebody's daughter's volleyball shorts

The Lakers got their shooter

Smh why am I just now finding out the Lakers signed Kendrick Nunn
