I agree. So why do people legitimately have Oscar Robertson/Jerry West etc in their top 10s and 20s if they clearly weren't as skilled as the players today?
because compared to their contemporaries they were far more dominant.
they have the same advantages and disadvantages as everybody else at the time.
Lebron isnt suddenly gonna be overrated and garbage because in 2035 eveybody is built like Lebron in NBA.
Its like saying Iraq war vets are better soldiers than civil war vets. clearly the technology and the years of knowledge is the main benefit not the people. Take a civil war vet give him modern weapons and training and he'd be just as good as an Iraq vet.
