1) Your comment suggests that height is what makes a player great. If that was true, Manute Bol and Shawn Bradley would be the GOAT. BB is about getting position, timing, anticipation, fundamentals, hand eye coordination, passing, shooting and teamwork.
2) Besides, if your comment was true (which it is not) the average height in the NBA is 6 foot 7 and has been since 1981. So, Wilt would still dominate today’s players as well, by your logic. When Wilt won the NBA title in 1967 the average height and weight of his team (76ers) was 6 foot 6 and 213 lbs. The average height and weight for the 2014 Spurs was 6 foot 6 and 213 lbs. In 1972 when Wilt won another title with the Lakers the average height of the opposing starting centers was 6 foot 10. When Shaq won a title in 2000 the average height of the opposing centers was 6 foot 11.
3) You insulted every center that played during Wilt’s time, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Willis Reed, Bob Lanier, Artis Gilmore, Nate Thurmond, Dave Cowens, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, and Clyde Lovellette. I only listed the HOFers, not all the other all stars and good players.
