There does not need to be any breakthrough if the best players are
playing. Clearly all the talent was not being tapped.

Actually no......please name me 5 great black collegiate players from that era who didn't play in the NBA then. It was certainly oppressive but your trying to draw conclusions that aren't valid. Auerbach was a pretty shrewd guy....He knew Russell was his key to immortality and that Bird would bring him a second dynasty. McHale and Parrish for Joe Barry Carroll speaks for itself....
