Wrong… wilt was a beast but basically had an unfair advantage as he play
Most of his career against a bunch
Of 6’5 players or shorter.

I don't know if that's true. Here's a link where you can look at average ht in the NBA over time, by position etc. Seems to be very little difference from Wilt's era to today. Average ht seems to be about 0.5" higher today. runrepeat.com

If Wilt was 7'1" then he and Lebron have about the same differential when compared to others in their position groups. Every position group has gotten smaller for Lebron's entire career, except for PG. Centers and other big men were getting taller as Wilt's career went along.

Looks like the NBA has been getting smaller recently, with the peak in ht around the Jordan-Kobe eras, which was the start of Lebron's time, iirc.
