Interesting how with basketball you often hear some of the pioneer-era players (like Mikan, Cousy) “couldn’t play today”… but with the early baseball icons you never hear it.
I don't have scientific evidence but I think that many players changing out their basketball shoes every game, some likely switching out shoes at halftime on occasion, contribute to the lower body injuries. Has there been any research on this?

Havlicek came to mind for me as well, but he was too understated & efficient for most to notice. He made it all look easy... the Joe DiMaggio of basketball.
There was a time in basketball history when that initial "bounce" for Wilson to control the ball would have been considered his dribble for that possession.
Surprised Westphal is pictured in Converse as in his Suns years I recall adidas (like in 1976 Finals) & then Nike.
This looks like the “church” autograph. PSA/DNA must have high standards that mine is deemed not a 10.
I would have thought with SoFi Stadium that Los Angeles would be a candidate as a Final Four host city. Is that facility not viable for basketball?
They lost the “Heat Culture” vibe when Jimmy Butler disrespected them & then The Godfather gave him a soft landing in Golden State rather than dealing him to an NBA outpost.

Did West not have as much say when with the Clippers and/or did Ballmer & Frank not follow his insights?
