They didn’t call fouls for arm checking or ticky tack **** like they do now.

Skinny *** Durant isn’t gonna get to his spots so easy when he’s getting arm checked all over the court. That style of defense would no doubt mess with him mentally and throw his game off. Like I said, he’d be good, but he wouldn’t be a top3 guy in the NBA.

Durant would be good no doubt, but the physicality would hurt his scoring ability IMO

There’s more than those four, but I think a guy like Durant would be at a huge disadvantage back them.

The lakers sans the two stars are not more athletic at this point. Early in their careers, Rondo, Howard, McGee, and Green were great athletes, but nothing special anymore

The athletes are by and large the same. The style of the game changes how that athleticism is used or leads to specific athletic profiles being less emphasized.
