Great links, thank you.
I especially concur with the parts talking about how you can't compare the basketball players of yesteryear to the basketball players of today. There are simply just no statistic(s) that measure all the fully encompassing intangibles in the sport of basketball; especially considering how much it has evolved in the last decade or so.
And it was a good comparison using baseball statistics that compare players of the past to players of today. This is possible in baseball because it's an INDIVIDUAL sport. It's definitely *not* a team sport like basketball. Baseball is a series of completely isolated instances and events that make it easy to break down into individual measurable stats, which is pretty clearly impossible to anyone that knows any of the fundamental nuances of the sport of basketball. Everything that happens on the court depends on all the other players at the same time. It's a free-flowing and ever-changing environment. There is just SO MUCH that can't be measured.
Good stuff dude, thanks for sharing.
