I think today's SGs and SFs blow the 80s/90s out of the water.

80/90s probably wins the centers though.

Bird, MJ, Pippen, Worthy, Dominique, Reggie Miller, Drexler, etc. Outside of center the wing players were the most stacked position in that era.

SF today in the NBA is easily the most shallow position outside of maybe center

Big men and the very upper echelon, the 80s and 90s hold their weight, but top to bottom the NBA teams today would frick over the teams 20-30 years ago, no question.

Blah blah, how would they be officiated, blah blah, it wouldn't matter

SG is arguably the weakest position or 2nd weakest position in the league right now.

Kobe, Harden, Wade, Bledsoe, DeRozan, Afflalo, Matthews, Thompson, and Butler? Who else?

Today's PGs are better scorers/shooters, but the elite before were better than today's elites in regards to passing.
