why?
absolute age comparisons are silly across generations. A 20 year player of today is MUCH further along in his development curve than players of decades ago due to AAU ball, longer highschool and college seasons, more camps, specialized training/coaching, etc.
if we're speaking in generalities maybe, but
you think 4 years with John Wooden is the same as a year of college ball with one hand, an injury sit out season, and one year in the pros?
come on. you're the one comparing him to kareem. not me.

no, i thought it was absurd, but those were the comparisons mentioned about Oden coming out of OSU.

yes. i think an accelerated development virtually his entire life, and multiple years as a pro is better than 4 years (only playing 3 i believe) with John Wooden 4 decades ago when the game was totally different.
