The article discusses Charles Barkley's tendency to glorify the physicality of basketball during his era. Despite his assertions that players like Stephen Curry would not survive in the tough conditions of the 80s and 90s, the article argues that this is an absurd claim. While there may have been more physical contact back then, it was not as extreme as Barkley suggests. The article points out that players like Curry, who is considered one of the greatest shooters in history, would not break under the pressure, as he has proven to be a strong and skilled player. The article also questions why smaller players from that era, such as John Stockton and Reggie Miller, were able to thrive and have successful careers.
In conclusion, the article dismisses the idea that Curry or any other great player from the present era would not excel in the past, asserting that they would be successful no matter the era.
