The next person who says he didn't play against black players needs to be throat-punched.
He DID play against black players and was very successful.
How would he be today against today's players- who the hell knows- but I would assume his training regimen would allow him to keep up with the bigger/stronger/faster players of today.
These debates are silly, because he only really needs to be judged by how he did when he played against the competition of his time.
I'm sure theres a lot of scientists smarter now that Einstein was. Do we say "Einstein is over-rated because he would not be up to snuff with today's scientific geniuses"?

Nothing has changed in the genetic makeup of humans. A naturally gifted athlete back then would still be a naturally gifted athlete today. The difference is all in the training. So anyone who was a freak would still be a freak today if they used modern training.
I would argue that BC may not be the standout specimen he was, however he'd still be an effective player today. It's certainly tough to judge, and the field is absolutely littered with freaks now. To stand out on the field today, you have to be at a level that the majority of us can't even understand.
