Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 2352126, member: 626"] Proportional it may be but that doesn’t make it accurate, imo. Where I sense generational bias is with the removal of a Wes Unseld, the only ROY and MVP in the same season, and maybe the best rebounder of all-time. Or Tiny Archibald who in his prime, was as good or better than Iverson, IMO. The bias is evident primarily when you consider the type of game that’s played today, what’s valued and emphasized vs what might’ve in the past. Unseld couldn’t jump a lick and had the quintessential boring “old man” game, which might lead him to be overlooked by those who’re used to high wire acts and rim-rattling dunks. Again, if all I’m used to are athletic supermen, then the fundamental hustle of a Cowens or Debusschere, the scoring ability of a Pistol Pete or Lenny Wilkins or Dave Bing , can be over-shadowed by what one has seen, vs what’s “better”. It’s all good though, as it happens in every sport. JMHO [/QUOTE]
