All things being equal...either you plunk a team from today into that era, with all that entails, from officiating to diet and lifestyle; or plunk a team from then into today, with all the technological and as you say, evolutionary strength advantages...or, you find something in between.Because of natural evolution, strength and conditioning, diet and more structured basketball programs, you would be hard pressed to find a champion from 40 or 50 years ago come anywhere close to beating a top 15 team from 2017.
I think my point is that those teams from the 50's and especially the 60's were really good, and you can't take that away from them, any more than somebody sixty years from now could denigrate the teams in the final four today.
