I compared LJ to LeBron in terms of body type and athleticism about a year ago and LeBron fans lost their collective shit. If I could view the down votes it would probably be hundreds. But at least I know now that its not just 15 year olds on the internet hypebeasting of their generation off stars. These kids don't believe anything great came before them nor will anything great come after them. Larry Johnson was the prototype for LeBron James. An unfinished test model almost. LeBron is just an updated version. RUNNING REBELS LJ WAS MONSTROUS.

Munchino H Hill what? You must be a 2000s+ baby talking trash. 90s was when the competition was at its highest. Most of these players are the best players those teams have ever seen and all played in that “garbage” era. Portland with Clyde, Seattle with kemp and Payton, Utah with Malone and Stockton, rockets with hakeem and Kenny Smith, Spurs with Robinson and Duncan, Hawks with Wilkins, Orlando with a young shaq, early 90s laker still had magic and worthy, same with the whole early 90s pistons squad. All of those teams gave the bulls trouble especially the pistons, the 90s just happen to have the best player ever to play the game. If you weren’t alive you won’t get it but this was the era that brought the NBA to global attention, this new weak era is the one killing its appeal.

@ 7:02 FACT CHECK- He was NOT traded because of "friction" between him and Alonzo Mourning. Mourning was traded in 1995 because he couldn't get a contract extension. Larry Johnson was traded in the summer of 1996. So it was obviously not "friction" between him and Mourning because Mourning was already traded the year before.

I remember reading the article in the review journal that talked about Larry signed with UNLV thinking that we had a chance to win it all now.

Johnson was a beast with Charlotte in the original NBA Jam on Super Nintendo!

The good thing about LJ is even after his injury, he's still a factor used his brains more, and sharpened his finesse game, if he didn't have that injury, man he is a lebron type of player

L.J was a beast on the court. Wasn't to many fowards that could actually bang with him.

He was bold first then , smack himself down. This will teach you , never act stuck up. Always be grounded.

LJ was the man at UNLV, though Augmon, Anthony and Hunt were cool too. He had that strong back to the basket low post Barkley type of power game but Johnson was different - he had a fade with a center part, a gold tooth, long shorts, an untucked jersey, a hesitation free throw wearing the freshest Nikes with that backboard slapping type of hood swagger. They were the stars of college ball then and definitely fun to watch!

He wasn't traded because of friction between him and Zo. Mourning was already gone before LJ left.

Correct Zo left a year before LJ was traded! Ownership didn't want to pay the remaining balance on that massive 10 year 70 million dollar contract Lol...

I thought he was better than Barkley before the back injury.

@Greg Bailey Before the injury I watched Larry Johnson dominant Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Derrick Coleman in a one month stretch (they were the top power forwards in the league at that time). Check the head to head match ups between a healthy Charlotte Hornet's LJ and Barkley and you would understand why I said LJ was better than Barkley was before his back gave out.
