re: Counter list best 2000s players as I feel most these 50s-70s guys wouldn't be much today

Well you bring up a good point, stas are only as good as the team that surrounded the player who is accredited with the stats. Who knows what kind of numbers Kevin Faulk might have put up if he lined up behind a Les Miles offensive line. Pete Maravich still holds the all time points record and he only played three years and there was no three point line. Those who saw him play will tell you he was mind bogglingly good. I’m not much of a basketball fan, but even I could see he was in a different class. How awesome would it be if we could watch Carlos Carson and Early Doucet in the 2019 offense. We’ll never know. I know that I have been able to watch some great Tigers over the years, as well as some great opponent athletes. Just saying it’s too difficult to limit it to so few.
