I don't think it fair, even hypothetical, to retrain them. Who knows how a player would react to the more intensive training of today. Maybe there body wouldn't be able to take it or there mind.

Yeah that is one of the problems with this silly arguments... so many assumptions on both sides. I am assuming that in order to be an elite basketball player, the athletes put in countless number of hours of intense training. That training may look different in different eras but I am guessing that the mindset is the same and they do anything they can to perfect their craft.
Of course you may be correct and players from the past might see a training regimen from today and say "forget that". But I just happen to think there is something special inside elite athletes that make them rise to the challenge... that is why they are elite.
yea you got a point about the top of the top
Yeah I am completely guessing. I can't imagine the drive it takes to be the best of the best.
