Yeah I had Bird, Magic, and Kareem in that order. I think all three can be argued number one, but there are aspects about Bird's personality I personally felt set him apart. Out of all three I wanted the ball in his hands on the final possession the most.

I think an argument could be made that both leagues in basketball were watered down because of the situation and that the greats in either league would have put up those kind of numbers regardless of which league they were playing in. Remember cocaine was huge difference maker for both leagues at was used wide spread and seriously effected the performance in of players as well. So 70s basketball is tough to gauge so IMHO players stats and performance es can be interchanged.

Yeah I won't hold any kind of grudge against ABA guys. Especially the Doctor!

Very nice.

I love how he played (seeing his highlights of course). Very good pick.

Interesting.  I had assumed that only NBA seasons were eligible for selection.

From my perspective in evaluating, the lesser talent in the ABA won't hurt the star players much at all.  When evaluating role players, though, some of the over-inflated numbers from the ABA aren't going to sway me.

In the specific case of Dr. J, he was a dominant player, and he'll be treated as one.  At the same time, I don't see him as a guy who could ever average 10+ rebounds in the NBA, and I won't be assuming he could just because he did that numerous times in the NBA.

Cowens was one of the premier defenders of his time. A solid pick

I'm not surprised at all.  Celtic.  Champion.  League MVP.  I mean 6-8 is exactly where he should have gone in this thing.
