Meh...so then what about today's records in the context of a half century from now? A player can only compete against the competition in his own era. It is easy to dump on every record not set by an active player as having occurred in an era of little talent. There were also only eight teams in the NBA when Chamberlain was setting those records. The star players on rosters weren't diluted like they are today.
