cant teleport generations thats the ultimate in stupidity
also the average height of a player today is 6'7
the average height of players in the 50s was 6'4
another glaring hole in your basketball knowledge outside of throwing around random bullshyt my guy
if you're young, you will see how life works soon. Like dude said the past creates the future, dudes who broke records in the 80s were chasing the 70s records
and so on... people are only as good as whats happening in front of them. 50 years from now people will be the same, but people will be chasing different records and breaking them.
If someone knew Steph Curry was going to make 402 3's in a season ... they would just gun for that. But proving my point, it was a different time back then you would be kicked out of the league for playing like Steph
shyt even AI is proof enough... dude was blackballed and shyt on for playing with today's style.
This is my take an opinion so it doesnt hold super amount of weight but if Bill Russell was here now playing he would be Giannis ... dudes were built like that but arguably in better shape, riding buses to games and playing in converses with no subs.
What cats dont take into account with these bullshyt comparisons is, the talent pool after 70 years is much larger. Its easy to compare greats when you have a huge pool to choose from. In 50 years you will be able to pick out 5-7 players just like anyone at anytime in basketball history. What I also mean with the being young thing is ... I played basketball in the 90s as hard as I could. I was only as good as I was... I wasnt obviously good enough to fukk with college level players. My style today is completely different than when I played super hard in the 90s. That doesnt change the fact that the 90s overwhelmed and overshadowed me when I was in it... and taking my talent now into the 90s still wouldnt change much for me. Similar to in 2034 I wont be able to just bring that game to 2017 and have it work. Going back to the 1950s and 60s is an incredible reach because at the time you wouldnt even be considered into the league. People that do this are looking subjectively at the past as if being a professional at that time is easy work. If you look at anything with that mindset you will always look foolish, They were just inventing TV and all this shyt... I dont see anyone building TVs now, just because we have the tech in our palm. You in 2020 couldnt blindly go put together an analog TV and program the board to make it work.
Rodney Mullen invented 300 tricks on skateboard including the ability to jump ... which opened the lane for modern skateboarding. You cant really ever say ... well fukk Rodney Mullen when he walked so you could run with it. You dont want the 60s team to come to this era with the new talent and ability so your argument and viewpoint is already bullshyt, how can an innovator not be able to innovate? Just because you want them to wear short shorts and shoot hookshots to make you feel better? You are comparing a creation of modern game with limited teams and funding to a global game where dudes get pulled out of Serbia at 19 and forced into basketball in huge international leagues. But your only argument is that dudes were shorter, even though it was only by 2 inches. Come on, Son. That's like saying America's got Talent has better jazz musicians than the 1930s just because they've practiced robotically and have a large pool of auditions now. Sure there's more and people have studied it longer but that doesnt mean the majority of people are better. Imagine if you gave Muddy waters Youtube with tutorials and access to a million different songs to learn.
