60s NBA vs Current Euroleague

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Who you got?

[Fire Colangelo]

Probably 60s NBA.

6" white americans > 6" white euros

[IncarceratedBob]

So many advances in the past 60 years. Teams from the 60s would struggle against college teams, but they'd dominate Euroleague

[LAZERUSS]

Who you got?

How about this...

put Kevin Love, Steve Nash, Andrew Bogut, and Ricky Rubio in the 60's, and do they actually perform any better then, than they do today?

How many rpg titles for Love? How many apg titles for Nash? How many bpg titles for Bogut? And does Rubio shoot even worse in the 60's than he does today?

[LAZERUSS]

And we know you have zero respect for players of the 60's, so how about the 70's?

Lanier, Cowens, McAdoo, Dr. J, Barry, Walton, Gilmore, Archibald, Hayes, Frazier, Maravich, Moses, and Kareem.

Would the NBA of today just relegate them to the YMCA?


How about the 80's?

Moses, Magic, Bird, MJ, Hakeem, Dantley, Barkley, Worthy, McHale, Dr. J, K. Malone, Stockton, Ewing, and even an old Kareem.

Bench-warmers today?


The 90's?

MJ, K. Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Hakeem, Ewing, D. Robinson, Rodman, Shaq?

Role players today?

[Im Still Ballin]

Euroleague would wipe the floor with those janitors

[deja vu]

Euroleague players would have destroyed 60s players. C'mon now... How many former Euroleague players are thriving in the NBA now?

Why do you just list white players and pretend like they're unathletic? None of those guys except maybe Kevin Love are particularly unathletic.

[PejaTheSerbSnip]

Would love to know who in the Euroleague is better than Wilt, Baylor, West, Oscar, Russ, Sam Jones, Kareem (in college), etc.

[bdreason]

I'll take the league with Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, and John Havlicek.

Yeah, but Nash isn't winning a single MVP in the 60s. Oscar averaged nearly a 30 pt tripple double his first 7 years in the league, and got one MVP out of it. The next perimiter player to get an MVP was Dr J, even though Baylor and West were putting up Kobe/Lebron/Barkley type numbers.

Love is good, but what makes him special in the 60s? He's not Thurmond's size. He's not the physical beast Gus Johnson was. He's not a rim protector like Russell or Wilt. There would be no 3pt line for him.

Pace.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

To answer my own post: I think if you took the best from each 60s NBA >> but average player?? I'll take Euroleague

[Marchesk]

Pace.

Sure, doesn't change the fact that Nash would not win an MVP in the 60s, and Love would not be one of the elite bigs.

Lebron and Kobe are different matter, of course.

Do they dominate in the 60's?

Are you going tell me with a straight face that Bogut is going to lead the NBA in bpg? That Love is going to lead the NBA in rpg? That Nash is going to play 45 mpg and lead the NBA in apg? That Rubio is somehow going to be a better shooter than the joke that he is today?

Do you think the 6-5 220 lb Oscar would struggle against either Rubio, or Nash? How about the 6-4 Walt Frazier, or 6-5 Pistol Pete? Keep in mind that that was their bare-foot height, as well (I believe Oscar was a shade under 6-5.)

Do you think Bogut is going to be a force against Thurmond, Russell, or Wilt?

That Love is going to outrebound Gus Johnson or Jerry Lucas, much less guys like Russell, Thurmond, or Wilt?

CP vs West?

Rubio vs. Maravich?

Cousins vs. Wilt?

Love vs Lucas?

Nash vs. Oscar?

Bogut vs, Thurmond?

Hell, let's throw Kareem in there as well, since he came into the NBA in 1969.

Any center today vs. Kareem?

Yep...the players of today would just slaughter those guys, right?
