Yeah, that was a pretty good time for individual talent though. Could probably find some other times in the 60's/70's/80's that are comparable but I don't have time for that.

Titles are overrated
Re: what is the ABSOLUTE BEST league wide talent point in NBA history?
Thing about this is all it leads to is a lot of great players from the past being mentioned followed by laughs from people who dont know shit about them.
I mean...Jason Richardson? Even Rip Hamilton.
If Jrich justifies a mention there are teams with 6 guys who belong on such a list.
