It's the offseason now, and with two of the best players on the market out of commission it's going to be a weird and somewhat disappointing one.
So let's have some fun with a discussion that has been popping up in various threads. Take a crack at the following questions and try to be thoughtful about it:
1) Which players from past eras would be diminished in the modern game?
2) Conversely, which players from past eras would have flourished in the modern NBA?
Obviously we're talking about the league post the illegal defense changes and all the tactical changes that have accompanied these rule adjustments.
No need to answer both questions if you don't want. And let's try to hold off on obvious examples (like, we know that Mark Eaton wouldn't have a place in the modern NBA).
