...though when you consider the following: Chris Webber has never shown the ability to be a clutch player when it matters (Tyra Banks excluded), Tim Duncan has a 19-year old starting point guard passing him the ball and a gimpy 36-year old Admiral who is a frequent Shaq dunk victim, and Rasheed Wallace is about the most irritable man in America...
Chamberlain was clearly in the twilight of his career, and would not be much more effective in containing Shaq than Dikembe Mutumbo was during the 2001 Finals. West was one of the most clutch players in NBA history, alongside the likes of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, but would draw the unenviable assignment of guarding Kobe Bryant, whose athleticism would overwhelm the perimeter defense of ’72 Lakers. If the two teams were to play a series, the current Lakers would cruise, defeating their Inglewood ancestors in five games...

Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish would create all sorts of mismatch problems for Rick Fox, Samaki Walker and Shaq. McHale was the best post man the NBA had seen for 20 years until Tim Duncan recently came along, and if you think the likes of Wallace, Webber and Duncan exploit the Lakers glaring weakness at the power forward position today, the Celtics’ Hall of Famer would light it up like no one else...

Ad experts say consumers like the idea of products that weather the times--it's the exception to the advertising rule that associates old with bad. In the post-9/11 era, that sentiment is growing stronger. "You're buying the same thing that someone bought in the '50s and '60s," says Breck Eisner...
