Better NBA era for Small Forwards: Now or the 80's?

[dayun]

The 80's:

Bird (HOF)
Erving (HOF)
Wilkins (HOF)
Worthy (HOF)
English (HOF)
King (HOF)
Dantley (HOF)
Aguirre
Marques Johnson
Wilkes (HOF)
Mullin (HOF)

Now:

Bron (Future HOF)
Durant (Future HOF)
Leonard (Future HOF - pending health)
Melo (Future HOF)
PG13
Hawyard
Butler

I think the 80's is the best era of SFs ever.

I associated Mullin more with the 90's. He started to ball out in the late 80's though.

Yeah true. He didn’t start becoming an all star until early 90’s.

The forwards today are better.....

Lol imagine sending Durant back in a time machine to play in the 80s...

They wouldn't know what to do with that nikka. 6'11 with guard handles and shooting ability

Lebron, Durant, Davis, Cousins, Giannis, Kristaps, etc

These nikkas would be like

they would just lose their mind over these teams taking 35+ three-pointers a game.
