Notice that George usually averaged at least 7 or 8 ppg higher than the runner up in his league. That type of spread is why I feel he was the greatest. Could he (assuming you could get a time machine) in his prime compete with today's top centers. Probably not, but that wasn't my point. My point is that when you compare players of different eras, in order to have an apples to apples comparison, it is fair to judge them against their peers and see the gap between them and the next best player of their era.
