This. Bad cases of recency bias here.
I am not denying that the current (say since 2000) crop of NBA players are, as a group, better athletes and better physical specimens. But Wilt averaged OVER 48 minutes PER GAME for an ENTIRE SEASON, while leading the league in all kinds of stats in a very fast-paced offense. I have a hard time seeing anyone do that nowadays. They always talk about resting players, letting them sit out games, coasting into the playoffs. And when Wilt played it was nearly a contact sport, it was not easy and happy and "oh you brushed his shirt, that's a foul". He played against Bill Russell one of the toughest bruisers to play the game. Yes our current crop are probably better athletes than the average player in Wilt's day but there is no denying that individuals from that day could stand the test of time and easily play in today's NBA. There is no denying that Wilt was a physical specimen far ahead of his time.
We're not even 4 rounds deep and you're already scared making excuses for your team? Lol jk......part of this type of deal is to sell your team since there is no real way of knowing who the best is.
