Of course he's too young! Mention Baylor, West, Wilt, Russell, Frazier, Bellamy, Havlachek, Jones, Robertson, Barry, and their contemporaries, and these young whipper-snappers have no idea! ;-) They think the NBA was established with Michael Jordan, who couldn't carry Wilt's jock-strap, BTW. Greatest shooting guard of all time, hell of a defender, NOT the best of the best. |

Shee-it, too. I grew up watchin' those guys, Bing, Yardley, Lanier, etcetera. Don't pull this 'I'm older than you so that must mean b-ball was bettah back in the day' crap. Game 7 is still Game 7, whether it's 2006 or 1966. |

Are you saying that hall of famers; Bing, Yardley and Lanier were good, not great, players? They were among the best of their time. And Jordan was probably the best player in his time, among other times. Bird had his years, battling with Magic Johnson. Then the torch was passed to M.J. He led his team to dominance. Different game, different players. Just like any sport it's hard to compare today's players with yesteryear's players. Brian |
