If i remember correctly J.R. was a little taller and much stronger than May. Like J.R.said it's a differnet era. They faced a different level of compitetion.I think without a doubt players are better in J.R. era. I think without a doubt JR would dominate in Mays era but i think May would struggle in JRs era.

There are more finese players today that could do what May did , they want to stay outside and bomb away (i'm not saying that is all he did)Most players would rather gaurd a player like that than a banger..JR could bang with the best of them,theres not to many players willing to do that .Most of the players that will bang have nowhere the skill JR had.I guess one will pick a side on what kind of player they favor.Give me a highly skilled center that is a team player anyday.

Of course i wouldn't be upset if i could have played a 1/3 as good as May in my day.
