Lineup and run us to death and shoot over us like crazy.

Smith was incredibly athletic for his size, but today he’d have to guard a 6-5 wing that’s faster than him when Leonard was in the game.

In that era, teams played two guards and three bigs. Our starting lineup matched up well athletically in the area.

Today, teams play 3 to 4 guards and often only one big man. That lineup would struggle to keep up.

And I am pretty sure that Gary Leonard was not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Mike Sanbothe was not Kevin Durant.
