take george mikan or 1 of them and put them in a time machine, and let them try out for an nba team, would they make it or is the competition really that much better now?

Probably, As far as still being an all star now hell no. I dont think half the guys who were stars in the 70s and 80s could make the all star team now. The league is too fast and medicine and eating right has turned every sport into guys that are 215+ and able to run faster than a average ? whos 5'6 and 150lbs. Not to mention the further back you go the more Centers and PF's you have that are like 6'5-6'6 and ? .
Think about it, for example at SF You’ve got Pippen, Dr. J, Dominique Wilkins, Rick Barry, James Worthy, John Havlicek, Bernard King, Alex English, Chris Mullin, Elgin Baylor … None of these guys could keep up with ? like Lebron and Melo -

i made a thread kinda like this called michael jordan was the luckiest player, where the premise was that the overall talent in todays nba is better than what jordan had to face, i got crucified for that lol. -

i wouldnt even try it with the jordan stans here lol but i understand what you're saying, i was saying something similar before, like what if jordan was drafted onj a team with a dude like shaq, or what if kobe played for a ? team early on, how would the numbers look? -
i think if wilt chamberlain was playin today he'd average a triple double almost every night... in todays game centers are soft.

I Michael Jordan played a decade ago. This thread is based on guys who played half a century ago. -

Point is when MJ was playing early on guys were far under his athletic level. You put MJ in todays game and all that high flying ? wont make close to the difference it made then. His J wasnt great coming into the league either. His work ethic was so great he woulda been great no matter what but MJ coming into the league post 1995 as a rookie and his name aint what it is now. -

shaq couldnt get 35 ppg in his prime so i doubt wilt could. i do think shaq couldve scored 100 back in the day though -

Wilt couldn't shoot free throws for ? either, but he'd definitely beast on Shaq imo. -
a true center wilt ,bill russel,l and hakeem was that shaq was one dimensional player.

bill russel had no offensive game he would be like ben wallace nowadays, dude is highly overrated for being on teams with so many great players -
