1970s: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
1980s: Alex English
1990s: Michael Jordan
2000s: Kobe Bryant
2010s: LeBron James
2020s: (Current) Stephen Curry
I think even Dolph gets more love than Alex. But the rest of those guys are hobby superstars.
You can get a nice Alex on-card auto for $5. Kinda crazy.

Yeah, it is interesting.
He wasn't really flashy or a high flyer, and he wasn't known as a good defender. Also played for a small market team with minimal media exposure. And of course, his teams didn't have any deep playoff runs.
All that being said, I still think his game would've translated fairly well to today's NBA.
