No question this is correct. But that doesn't mean that one team couldn't be better than another team. Or one player better than another. I've seen Kershaw. He isn't as talented as Pedro or Koufax. Sorry. He just isn't. But, Kershaw on average certainly pitches to better players than Pedro or Koufax did. I'm ignoring that Pedro pitched to a D.H. instead of a pitcher. the basketball players today are better than the players of the 1980's. My objection to Erics thesis is that he said that the Celtics would just be overwhelmed. Some of the time maybe. But they had amazing talent that played in any generation that we have lived though.
I think Bird would have been a great player in this era as well. He was a big that played on the perimeter. Way ahead of his time. I'm not sure McHale, Walton or Parrish fit.
