Message: [QUOTE="EBonz30, post: 3595049, member: 6370"] A lot of that you would imagine was because centers were almost 2 inches smaller on average in the 1960’s compared to centers in the 1990’s or the 2000’s- guy was playing against players 4 inches smaller than him. Average center in the last 30 years is over 6 foot 11. If we discuss weight it’s even more of an absurdity- centers were on average 229 pounds & now they are over 250+ pounds. So you take Wilt’s height at 7’1’’and weight at 275 pounds it made it a lot easier for him to dominate players at 6’9’’ & 229 pounds. You would imagine there wouldn’t be as much dominance if he was facing on a nightly basis a player who is over 6’11’’ & 250+ pounds. [/QUOTE]
