[JD617]

I thought you were gonna say Jack Nicklaus with today's golf clubs or Bjorn Borg with today's tennis rackets or something that would actually makesense.

P.S.

Hyperdunks are overrated. MJ had better shoes on when he hit the Last Shot at Utah.

Yep

A good amount of his shots were from 20' or beyond. His college stats would be outta this world even though they already are.

The 3 pt line wasnt even around in the mid 80s.



Maravich with a 3pt line
Walton with proper cushioning
Nicklaus with new clubs



These are the only real examples in this thread, and each one of them is a good answer.

Exactly, I can't speak for golf, but I know that tennis racket technology has come a long way over the past 20 years... especially with thewooden rackets back then...

But to the OP ~ kiddo, you're giving the HD's waaay too much credit than they deserve.

alot of people fail to realize how good bill walton was before those foot problems ruined his career. im sure with todays medical technology hewould have been able to treated better, this would also apply for alot of nfl players who suffered bad injuries that might be much more treatable in todaysera.

Wilt Chamberlain with Magnum XL's.

NT is crazy today.

To the OP, I think Bernard King would have been a beast. He tore his ACL, and with today's advancement in those kind of surgeries. He would have had asuccessful takeover in the NBA at small forward

But this whole thread, like the suits , and suicide thread today are

Here's a little Pistol Pete info.....

(Maravich) is still the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer with 3,667 points scored and an average of 44.2 points per game. He accomplished this without the benefit of a three-point line and despite the fact that NCAA rules prohibited him from playing on the varsity team as a freshman.
Years later former LSU head basketball coach Dale Brown charted every college game Maravich played, taking into consideration all shots he took.

Maravich made an average of 13 shots a game from what is now the three-point line; if the three-point line had existed when he played, he would have averaged 57 points a game.

Highly doubt that "research" is completely accurate but it gives you a sense

Damn when did it become cool to speak on other men's condom size?
