Just about everybody in an NBA rotation right now would have dominated the 50s.

I don't think Tyler Zeller or KO could handle the 50s. Also I think some players would have a hard time handling the weird dribbling. Not sure how Marcus Smart would do as a center

Lorenzen Wright and Marcus Camby

Camby was a first round fantasy draft player for like 6 years straight, he was really good

KO may have been named one of the 50 greatest players off all time when they had that ceremony if he played in the 50’s.

Camby was a zero time all star. He definitely didn't dominate the era he was in

Well they didn't have the three pointer back then so he wouldn't have had that.

true.  But he would have been an athletic freak for a big guy with his ballhandling and passing in an era where it was fast break after fast break.  What would dolph shayes or George Mikan do against someone like that?

Probably foul the hell out of him. They did that back then, right?

If plucked from today and warped into the 50’s....yeah.

Otherwise, no.

I'm telling you most players today would do fairly well in the ABL during the 1920s
