You're exactly correct. There was never ANY hype when Michael Jordan went head-to-head against Isaiah Thomas, Wilt Chamberlain challenged Bill Russell, or Julius Irving took on Magic Johnson. Absolutely no hype.
Yeah, because all those match-ups happened in college ball. Oh wait... no, they didn't.
Elvin Hayes vs Lew Alcindor and Bird vs Magic might have been the 2 most hyped matchups
No the hype would not be the same if they were women of color.
