NEWS FLASH........

Less teams in a sport means deeper teams and better talent per man. Integration????........Please pick another subject to make your argument.

Russell, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robinson, Wilt and many more were damn good two way players in most cases who were every bit the players these kids are today. The NBA has seen much better times than now....we can debate whether the SHowtime Lakers or Bird's Celtics or Issah's Piston's were better than both of these teams but this product on the floor now is well below the games of the 60's and early 70's of the NBA that saw Cousy, Sam and KC. Team play of this NBA in 2009 has never been close to those teams. Seeing it live is not the same as watching the talkies.......those old men could play.

Bill Sharman
Bob Cousy
Tom Heinsohn
Jim Loscutoff
Bill Russell
Jack Nichols
Frank Ramsey
Dick Hemric
Arnie Risen
Andy Phillip
Lou Tsioropoulos
Togo Palazzi

Of course I have.
Just look at the teams content.
There is no way anyone can say the best athletes
were out there. There may have been one of
those old championship Celtic teams, maybe with 5 black guys and
9 white guys. That was about it.

The team I posted... Bill Russell, thats it.
The only black.

And if Cannon agrees that the skill level and
athleticism is the same... He wont. Some were still
shooting two handed set shots with hands on opposite poles
of the ball. It was legitmately awful stuff compared to today.

Really it is terribly difficult to compare though,
because the rules are so different.

Great game tonight though.
Maybe I should say crazy game.
