@oldmanwithers1 Better yet just watch this clip and then read the comments below about the size of the players in the clip. /watch?v=t9cUpYe6G10

@oldmanwithers1 Who honestly told you that and why did you believe them? You do know that's a not even remotely true right? Players are the same heights today as they were back then, shoe heights as of 1985 give the illusion of a 1-2" height increase today. Wilt is big, no matter the era, he's the second heaviest center in history. And while talents have evolved and improved, fundamentals in today's game have plummeted. He played the same way they all had to play back then, and he dominated.

This will happen to Kobe Bryant

@oldmanwithers1

his ppg, yes because he was playing on better chamionship teams but his rebounds were still the same :/

[oldmanwithers1]

@ImmortalHardOn players caught up late 60's to early 70's. And his stats plummeted.

@oldmanwithers1

there were players his height, its their fault they didnt work out as much. competition never caught up

[oldmanwithers1]

@ImmortalHardOn Wilt was a man among boys. Its like myself going and playing a game against a bunch of 12 year olds. Of course I am going to grab 30+ rebounds etc. As soon as the competition caught up to him, he sucked balls.
