if a 5'3" 165 mugsy boges could hang in the 90s, an elite 6'2" 180 WNBA wing player with handles, passing, can box out, play pick and roll, can shoot a wide open J, and run the fast break could hang in the 1970s.

i say that with confidence, along with a 5 star high school boys player today could hang in the 1980s NBA just on sheer athleticism. but i'm not saying they would dominate.

women can't "bang" with men cuz of their physiology. but i believe a player like bill russell could hang today...after a season in the d-league or overseas to adjust to the style/tempo of today.
