So a watered-down talent pool that is the modern NBA, compares very favorably? I don't think so. There were NINE teams in 1961-62. Today, there are 30 teams, including the Toronto Raptors, who I am sure would not win more than 5 games if they played in a league like the 1961-62 NBA. In the same respect, Kobe would not score 81 points in that same type of league.
Kobe is good; I will concede that fact. But, his 81 points respresent nothing but selfishness, poor coaching, and lack of team concept.
