''cuz you have to simplify it''
and bill russell only scored about 5 more ppg and took close to 500+ more shots per year.

It's not favoring it's simply placing the stats in perspective. Your view is simply strange: in financial terms it like looking at interest rates w/o looking at inflation as well (i.e. a bond that pays 6% now in a low inflation period looks good but a bond that pays 6% in a high inflation period like the 70's and your actually losing money)
And even when adjusted for pace, 60's players still stand out. Baylor is still a top 5 SF just not as good as Bird and Chamberlain has a case to be made for GOAT even after adjusting for era.
