Lets be real, a young Jordan would average 50+ ppg against the small guards and no rim protection of the 60s. Dunks for days and days. David Robinson in the 60s would basically be Wilt. Like seriously watch this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L78v25cinYI Anyone seriously think this is the best basketball ever? Give me a break, dudes are blowing point blank lay ups, half the players can't dribble with both hands, there's enough bricks of simple weakly contested mid-range jumpers here to build a new arena, Bill "greatest player ever" Russell not even trying to play offence, etc. etc. etc. Any player who could shoot 50% from mid-range would be like the best player on the court, lol. A modern player like Westbrook or Kobe would eat these guys alive. |
Well the overall talent pool was much smaller in the 60s and the majority of great athletes as far as team sports goes still choose baseball over basketball and football. Jordan wouldn't need to dunk back in the 60s pretty much all shooting guards and point guards where undersized back then he would have no problem shooting plenty of uncontested jump shoots and even most of his contented shoots wouldn't be that hard since he would have had a clear size advantace.
