I question whether or not you even watch sports every time I read one of your takes.
When people take away talents of players due to their era they played in, I can't help but shake my head. Watch this video of Wilt playing, and watch how high this guys vertical jump is. Of course he wouldn't average those stats in today's game, but I could easily see him going for at least 20/13 in today's league. , DeAndre Jrdan averages 14 boards a game.
Wilt playing VERY well against one of the greatest centers considered of even today's generation (when Wilt was old as ). That alone should show that Wilt can hold his own and shouldn't be inferior like some idiots claim. By the way, Kareem said Oscar Robertson was the greatest player he's ever seen, and he played with Magic.

Can we now get an intelligent take on this?
I want to talk basketball.
Sure, it just won't be any of yours.
It'd be funny seeing Oscar in today's league where his stat-padding would get him crucified like it did Rondo.
I think a lot of them could play in other eras. I think the general play from back then and high pace had to due with rudimentary coaching strategies due to basketball being not far from it's birth at that point compared to now. If coaches were thinking the way they do now back then and emphasized certain skills and strategy, players would adjust accordingly to it. But since the basic plan back then was run as fast as you can and shoot the ball as soon as you find a shot and hope your big man rebounds it, numbers are highly inflated and rewinding and watching games from that era is painful.
Then again if they called travelling and carrying violations like they did back then, 90% of the PGs in the league would turn the ball over before crossing half court
Do you think Babe Ruth could hit off the pitchers of today? Ok the Babe Ruth of those days.
Is that the candy bar b?
I accounted for the stupid responses but didn't consider the boiler room kid.
Never seen Dale use that one. It's a start.
That's very true. But I don't think there's any way, even in the 50's that Rondo averages 20 for his career
Did I really get to you that bad to the point where you need to try to derail a thread over pure hatred of me? I never thought it would be so easy to lower ones self esteem to that point. Let's try to stay on topic - my last address to the butthurt. This is a basketball discussion thread.
This is a very solid point and it's funny because watching the highlights from the 60s you can easily see they played more organized and fundamental, but it's very straining to the eye.
Shut up, got
My 8 year old dog can probably dribble the basketball better than George Gervin..
Probably better than Danny Green too.. But that doesn't really mean anything.
Danny Green will probably win multiple MVP's in the 70's..
Will probably be known as the GOAT.
If Kawhi got to play in the weak '90s, we'd be asking "Michael who?"
David Robinson in todays NBA would be the ultimate bench warrior
Not even sure if he could hit 75mph changeups
I see a lot of accusations with not a whole lot of emphasis is why. I had a feeling it would go like this.
pretty impressive to be so naturally talented with not much training advances like today's game. Imagine Wilt with the training equipment of the 21st century.
If your goal is to argue that Wilt and Russell would be great today, etc, you probably shouldn't have included a video, tbh
