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.

Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, James boldly proclaimed that Giannis Antetokounmpo would score 250 points in one game if he played in the 1970s. A touch of exaggeration, one might say, but James's point about how dominant players would be dominant no matter what year they played in got across.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was flattered by LeBron James saying he could score 250 points in an NBA game in the 1970s, but he also acknowledged the difference in approaches to the sport between the different eras.
