Welp, looks like Cunning is offline again... never mind.


Anyone else have a trade offer for me?

You must've wanted Dirk

IMO He's overrated a ton due to a much faster pace and him playing plenty of minutes. Is it bad that I think Russell Westbrook would be better than the big O back in the day?

Thanks for the input.

An impossible argument either way. What if player X from 1960s had sports science, nutrition, year-round player development, advanced conditioning/P3, etc? What if player Y from 2016 had none of those things? What is important is to normalize to how well they did compared to the norm of their peers at the time. Look at the gap between Big O and the 15th best PG in 1962. Then look at the gap between Steph Curry and whoever you think is the 15th best PG today. You'll see a huge difference, Oscar is off the charts.

If a season-long 30/12/11 was just a "really great" thing and not an "extraordinary" thing, then there would be a list of players from the era with this accomplishment, or at least some that are close.

But this whole discussion quickly gets into a "how many angels can balance on the head of a pin" debate, which probably goes nowhere.

Egg on your face, you drafted Dirk ahead of D-Wade.
