Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 1734592, member: 5685"] I do think the type of athlete was influenced by the rules. You needed big physical players in the 90s. I think many of them wouldn't be able to play in today's game. Their strength was their physicality which isn't needed today, especially at guard. And vice versa with today's players. The star players are star players. They would be fine. But the rule differences is similar to style differences in the college game. 2000s Pitt guys wouldn't be as good playing in our system. And many of our players wouldn't be able to play in Pitt's system. IMO the same can be said for the average NBA player in each era. [/QUOTE]
