and bron plays in a slower era. so why can you say elgin isnt as good a scorer cuz his era is faster even though he scores more, but cant say bron is a better passer then bird even though he puts up better passing stats in a slower era? hypocrite much?

except you said magic, not bird. and averaging more assists doesn't make one a better passer. marbury averaged more assists than bird as well.

he scores similar points, is a bad passer, and scores inefficiently on a bad team. russell was still an offensive catalyst on championship teams. if you want to give the offensive edge to okafor, be my guest, it wasn't russell's strongest suit. but not sure what the point is.

i didn't disregard anything. you should always take era and context into account. are you arguing that era and context aren't important and raw numbers unadjusted are all that matter? that nate thurmond must be a better rebounder than dennis rodman because he averaged more rebounds?
