No its not. Here it is
OK, see a later post you talk about the early 70s, and state you don't remember the six pack as they were before your time.
So you’re saying the game for the entire period of your existence as an aware fan hasn’t changed (I agree, from personal experience). Hope you recognize that you therefore are waxing about the beauty of something you never experienced or understood, and are holding this thing you don’t know or remember as some ideal of “beauty” gone awry. Fake news heritage
And on that topic I just say that I have no personal experience or recollection but bball people I respect, like Ralph Miller and Bill Russell, disagree.
But here’s where you really really really go off the rails:
Put Freddie on the court today and you will see the beauty of the game. Period*. Put JJ on the court today and you'll see where the term point forward came from, a talented strong baller with unbelievable hand eye coordination, anticipation, timing, and innate understanding of movement.
This isn’t an everybody gets to have their opinion deal, there’s evidence. While Freddie and JJ as 1970 players are pretty much before either of our times, the exact same Freddie and JJ showed what they could do in the NBA for a dozen years or so right during our time. It is a FACT that they both thrived, and together won a championship, against Kareem, Walton, Lanier, Unseld, Marvin Barnes, Lonnie Shelton, Willis Reed, Dan Issel, Dave Cowens, M.L. Carr, and Maurice fricking Lucas to name just a few of the physical beasts they vanquished. Pretty sure if a few years removed from Iowa City they could best that lineup their 1970 selves could handle today's college game.
*ever hear a story of more beautiful basketball than Freddie's 50+ missing one shot?
