it isn't merely less than half, it's just over one quarter of the number of teams in Oscar's prime compared to today. That's before doing any measuring of the quality of the talent pool. (No Serbians in the Oscar-era NBA. huh.)
an all-NBA selection when there were one quarter the number of teams, should carry about one quarter the weight of one today
that's part of doing timeline adjusting which many opinion-havers don't seem to want to get rigorous about
