I agree that people are going to define a generation how they want to. To me, 4-5 years is more like a class, too short to be a generation or era. But as for quality I'll stick with my second sentence, a single player who dominates that time period with elite skill and ability. [B]A clear talent supremacy.[/B] So whether it's 5 years, 10, or 25, to be THE generational player you have to be better than all of the others of that period. To throw in 15-20 different players just waters it down to " a lot of great players". And stats don't matter to me, high level players don't need numbers to know who has dominated, they know. Most fans just add up numbers or the most outrageous dunks or moves. I know it's pretty much impossible to split hairs on who's the very best and that's my point. "Generational" is a dumb term. They can't all have the trophy as the best like today's society wants so just call them great or whatever. Obviously JMO.
