Yeah Wilt the Stilt didn't have alot of challenge in shattering records. Bill Russell as great as he was could only beat him on the strength of his team. The more atrocious stat was Oscar Robertson averaging a triple double over an entire season. The Big O was awesome but you could grab any big guard in todays nba with plus skills and he would go back in time and do exactly the same thing due to the disparity in skill level. If someone chooses to look back to yesteryear and contemplate that the skill level was on par they're out of their mind.
