WILT vs. Today's NBA?

I don't know. I don't think those stats are accurate. I don't think he was ever 300lbs. Nor do i think he could bench 400lbs. Not sure about the vertical. Players were pretty soft back then. Of course they didn't have everything they do today to get bigger & to stay wired for games. I think his #'s would be much more modest if he played today. And would be more of an Alonzo Mourning type when he was in his Prime. If you brought any of the great Centers from the past 20 years & put them in Wilt's time i think they'd dominate & have 50 points 20 Rebounds & 4 Blocked shots pretty regularly. The game really didn't get tough until the 80's. Of course you can't really compare eras. And you never know. So when i look at what they did in the past i don't look at it like well if they were in a different era then, when i eveluate players when ranking them. I usually go by the accolades they achieved durring their time period. But before the 80's it was basicly balerina ball & offense was stressed over defense.
