I agree you always have to pay respect to those who came before you. I think the game and rule changes really make it hard to compare. For example Jerry west didn’t have a 3pt line and you could hand check. Now little guys like kyrie can have more of an impact thanks to the 3pt line and the removal of the hand check.
But great players can play in all eras in my opinion. The all time greats have tremendous impact on not only the game but the culture
