Yes, however, you will likely have some people chime in on old players despite them playing in a significantly easier game (Cannon, Casanova, Maravich, etc).

LOL, there is probably, no event where equipment improvements have resulted in greater performance improvement than the pole in pole vaulting. Old timers had a pole made of bamboo or aluminum not a composite with greater flexibility that allowed the jumper to elevate considerably higher.

Easier game? How about tougher game when guys weren’t pussies like you. CaptainPussy yeah that’s it.

“Easier game” is sorta debatable. Regardless there are a lot more basketball players in the world than pole vaulters.

Maravich
that guy would own the NBA today. You obviously have never seen a game where tickey tack fouls aren’t called. In his day, you never went inside. He was 6’5-6 legitimately and handled a ball better than anyone you’ve ever seen. None compared to him then and now. He would be able to cross over and they wouldn’t call carrying.
Damn the thoughts and images he created were and still unprecedented. He can only be imitated. He is the originator.

Pistol Pete Maravich

His NCAA all time scoring record “while playing at LSU” will never be broken.
