well, of course, but they didnt have access to the resources we have now so...?


so you can't say past greats (in some cases, not all) couldn't compete today, because if they were, they would have access to the same knowledge.

On the track example, i have no problem saying Usain Bolt is best and all things being equal he probably bests Carl Lewis even if Lewis grew up at the same time, but don't tell me Lewis couldn't beat HS kids or even that he wouldn't make the US team cause he would.

thats an entirely different argument.

but yes of course if everyone grew up in the same socialization bubble, theyd be comparable to one another...

unfortunately for the 80s and 90s ballers, strength and conditioning was just in its infancy stages.
