Era Is Relevant
One way to evaluate players across era's is to compare their output to a common benchmark like league average Points/True Shot Attempt in each season. Utilizing a metric like True Shooting+ takes wacky looking statistics and places them in the context of their time.
It turns out that in 1957 Neil Johnston scored 121 points for every 100 shots when his season is normalized over all of NBA history. Dantley's True Shooting+ in 1980 was a tick lower at 119.
