Yeah a few months ago a local reporter asked Bill Russell how many rebounds and blocked shots he thought he would get a game if he were playing in this era. Bill said, "I think around 10 rebounds and 3 blocks a game." The reporter was shocked and said to Bill, "Wow that is still good, but only around half what you averaged in the 50's and 60's. Why so much lower, because todays players are taller and more athletic." Bill said, "No, honey, its because I am 75 years old."
