Pistol Pete was flashy and a phenomenon - but kids in the 5th grade can do every he did in slicker fashion. Little Romeo could out dribble ever player who played before Allen Iverson. if you recall, Jordan never took more than 3 consecutive dribbles with his left hand. Oscar robinson would have ad the ballripped as soon as he put it on the floor. Isiah Thomas and KJ pulled up Magic Johnson's skirt. these guy were fundamentally sound for their time, but there's no wy they could have played in todays age.<BR/><BR/>also, babe ruth was playing against tired arms. the rocket would get off the incline press and smoke 3 fast balls by this guy before he put his beer down.<BR/><BR/>our athletes are simply more talented today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
