60s Dream Team vs 2010s

[Stu Jackson]

It actually does. I already discussed this in previous posts (see post #22)

you dont seem to understand

after the superstars, which are a wash comparing players 5-15 maybe even 5-30 would go to the merged league nba of the late 70s

watch some of the games they played great ball then

the rank & file arent as good as the rest of the all stars from 10 years later

in the 60s many of the role players didn't matter as much since they had stars to carry them. Russ had Hondo, Heinsohn, KC Jones, Sam Jones, and even players like Howell who isn't ever mentioned and was a perennial 20ppg dude for years. Then of course you have people like Cunningham, Happy Hairston, Embry, Bridges, Beaty, Lou Hudson, etc etc. They didn't lead many teams (maybe exception Cunningham), but they were damn good players. They woulda made the merger for sure. Most teams starting lineups were pretty damn good and the bad teams were a breath of fresh air when you've been facing stacked team after stacked team. 60s were brutal man. I don't see how these players can be regarded as rank and file. Again remember, many of them played near 40 minutes per game. You really arguing about the 8 minutes they didn't play?

those bit players wouldnt be stars 5 or 10 years later in a complete league

the superstars are not rank & file. the guys after them are because they would not be top 30 after the merger

i cant view rank & file as all timers

60s will win easy.
