All league tournament- 50's vs 00's

50's vs 00's
70's vs 80's
60's vs 90's

PG Rodgers vs. Paul
SG Arizin vs. Mayo
SF Baylor vs. Durant
PF Russell vs. Griffin
C Wilt vs. Dwight

PG Rodgers vs. Paul. This isn't even funny, no disrespect to Guy. Chris Paul is the best PG in history, period.

SG Arizin vs. Mayo. This is tougher. Mayo's smaller, quicker, and will encircle Arizin several times with the rock. If Mayo takes the wrong shot, though, Arizin will be there to pick it up. You can't beat the guy who invented the jump shot at his own game, I imagine. Advantage: Arizin.

SF Baylor vs. Durant. Kevin Durant is the future. Kevin Durant makes all other comers look petty. At 6'9", Durant is too lanky and too soft to grab the boards, but he'll rarely miss a shot. One on one, it would be even. In a fullcourt game, though, Durant would be the offensive option and Baylor wouldn't know how to guard him. Advantage: Durant.

PF Russell vs. Griffin. Oy. BG's disgusting, but he's never played a regular season game. Bill Russell's also disgusting, and he's won 11 rings. I'm giving the advantage to Russell out of respect.

C Wilt vs. Dwight. This is the only tough one. Dwight is an athletic animal. Wilt is a destroyer of worlds. In today's NBA, though, it's quite hard to compare Wilt to Dwight. One on one, you can see Wilt with the array of offensive moves and Dwight just trying to throw it down on someone who's 7'1". It won't work. Erick Dampier is one thing. The Stilt is another. Advantage: guy who averages 50 ppg.

The 50's take this one. We have yet to establish the legacy of the '00 players. This will probably change sometime soon.
