No. Basketball was different back then, and the game was played differently. The league was also better stocked with higher end talent, which meant that better players faced better players more often, and that impacts cross-era numbers, just as watering down a league through expansion does. This isn't controversial to anyone, except you and KC Connection, apparently.

While you can't compare players between eras, you CAN compare playoff performance. Because they are either better/equal in the playoffs or they are markedly worse. Gehrig was markedly better in the playoffs; ARod is markedly worse in the playoffs. |

If you actually believe you can make an argument for ARod over Gehrig, then you seem to put absolutely no stock in a player's ability to deliver in the clutch. |

2) Buying into things blindly? Like relying on a "clutch statistic" that is completely unreliable with limited # of playoff at bats? In case you were wondering, you need 7,600 at bats to normalize the score (http://www.insidethebook.com/ee/inde...ll_does_exist/) |

Indeed, it seems you're losing track. That article you cited from Tom Tango is contrary to everything you've been trying to argue since this all began. Last edited by KC_Connection; 06-17-2014 at 03:13 AM.. |

KC Connection is going to defend Lebron no matter what.
He has made it his mission. |
