Paul,>>>I'm not familiar with Miken's play, but I am pretty confident in stating that Bob Cousy would be a SUPERSTAR in the NBA today (if there was an NBA today !) <<<
When it comes to silicon I will defer to you - but this is basketball.
George Miken was a superstar with the Minneapolis Lakers. He was a 6 foot 7 inch center who couldn't run and jump. He had, by today's standards, a low rent hook shot - definitely not skyscrapper proportions.
As for Bob Cousy, who always come to mind when I see Bobby Hurly or that point guard that just graduated from Duke. Those are gym rats extraodinare!!! Terrific character, tremendous passion for the game, unbeatable work ethic and uncanny abillity to hit the open man.
But, alas, the game has changed. Now you have 6' 7" point guards that can run, jump, and shoot from 30 feet out. Cousy's two handed set shot wouldn't cut it today. Today, he would have to guard people like Michael Jordan. Tall order.
