That's a few things. The other guys are much more athletic which makes centers less effectivelty, and obviously they can't get anywhere as physical.
Your point is valid though. Who knows how LeBron would have responded to a more physical NBA. You can also say how would a less athletic NBA respond to a god damn Alien.
It's hard to compare players from different eras I suppose, but LeBron I'm confident will be the best of his. Anything else can be argued to a point.
