dude dribbled the ball 20 times and twice with his left hand ...... are you kidding me ????
Yeah, because there's no way a team with a short PG like Cousy or Rondo could ever hope to defeat a team with a 7 footer or Kobe Bryant on it...

I'm looking at the match ups and even you would have a 6'1" Rondo guarding Magic or Bean before you'd have a 6'1" Cousy on either one
Okay, now you've seen Cousy playing exactly 8 seconds.
eight seconds is all I need to know he would get worked and would be a defensive liability ......
It's beyond me why people assume Tommy Heinson and the like could compete with today's athletes. They just weren't good enough IMO
No disrespect for both Laker and Celtic legends of yesteryear but come on!
The current athlete today has evolutionized and morphed into a specimen that was unheard of 35-40 years ago.
Look closely at any vintage 60's and even early 70's films (youtube will help) and really study everything from player physique, ball movement, hops, pivoting moves, speed and so on. There is an obvious almost lethargic sense to the way they play compared to todays basketball player. Todays player is much more dynamic. The one thing I can really say about yesteryears player is that they really didn't count on the dunk as much and were much more pure shooters and a of a lot better free throw shooters.
Diets, collegiate programs, weightlifting and a plethora of other resources exist for todays NBA player that weren't around back then.
In fact, I am convinced that a Division 1 powerhouse college team can really give any of those Laker/Celtic teams a damn good run for their money if not beat them.
Evolution is a of a thing.
Agreed.
Nice job Ln......
you sneaky bean-town boy you...

What
Whatof a lot better free throw shooters.
Better FT shooters?
What are you "what-ing" about Bob?
Pretty simple really. Sorry you don't get it. I understand.
Celtics would be to thin in the frontcourt. No disrespect to Bill Russel, but a prime shaq would give him the same play Dikembe Mutombo received in the 2001 finals.
Well, on the second count you're simply incorrect. The league average FT% in 1959 was 75.6%. This season it's 75.9%. It's been higher and lower, but not even the "6-5 honkies" back then were on average great free throw shooters. Not everyone was Rick Barry.
On the first, I'm sorry, but I don't understand whatmeans, and I'm pretty sure it isn't my fault.The current athlete today has evolutionized and morphed
So you think players from that era are athletically the same as todays athlete?
That was really the meat of my point.
Nice job Ln......
you sneaky bean-town boy you...
Some are. Some aren't. Some would be with weight training. Some of today's bodybuilders would be exhausted in a more uptempo game. What any of this has to do with, um, "evolutionizing and morphing," is a mystery. What does it mean to evolutionize and morph?
The Lakers would eat the Celtics. A lineup Magic/Kobe/Worthy/Kareem/Shaq would be hilarious to defend.
No in depth analysis needed when the Celts have hostorically owned the Lakers
Physiologically speaking, athletes of that era were different. You didn't have Shaq's or Dwight Howards or Michael Jordan "built" players back then is what I am trying to convey to you. I am don't understand why you can't grasp that.
I see the pompous ASS is back at it.
Apparently Ashy has never attended the Ambidextrous Dribbling Workshop.How many clips have you seen?
where do I sign up ???? And I've never had any problem dribbling the ball with my left. Normally, teams didn't know what was my strong hand until I shot the ball.Apparently Ashy has never attended the Ambidextrous Dribbling Workshop.
