just like Jesse Owens 10.3 at the 100 couldn't get him on the 2012 USA track team.......old school NBA nikkas couldn't make in the league today
athletes of today >>> athletes of the past
athletes of tomorrow >>> athletes of today
its just a FACT of life

FACTS of life
There's some athletes that could play in any era though. I agree with you, but there's definitely some guys who could play in any time in their respective sports.
Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that the best of today are better than the best of yesterday. Just look at all the sports where the objective measure of greatness is the clock versus current contemporaries. The 100m is a perfect example. The time that could win the gold in the 90s can't even get you on the USA track team today whenever the top 4 guys are running 9.9 and under. Even taking a freak like Usain Bolt outta the conversation, the 4 or 5 dudes after him were running faster than everyone else in history.
I just don't get why people think the same ain't true for team sports where the competition isn't the clock but rather other people. Just look at vids from nikkas in the 50-70s and you'll see how garbage even the best from that era were.
If the All-NBA team from the 60 or 70s was transported to todays NBA, they wouldn't even be able to beat the Charlotte Bobcats.
But like Jplaya said, dudes today came up in a new era of medicine, training, workouts, etc. Two totally different playing fields, of course you got people running under 9.6's in the 100 meters, bigger, stronger and faster than the guys from 25 years ago
If Carl Lewis was coming up today instead of the 80's im pretty sure he would be able to compete with someone like Usain Bolt. Dudes today have been able to take advantage of things athletes before them couldnt even dream about being able to have
2003 team deserves a mention
Shaq
Duncan
Garnett
Kobe
Tracy
those dudes would struggle against the 2011 kentucky wildcats breh. im being serious
different times
