Was the average NBA center during the Sixties, 6'7? LOL

Well do you know what the average height for a center was back then?? Its pretty safe to say that players now are faster, stronger, and bigger than they used to be. Im not diminishing Wilt's skills what so ever. Im just trying to say his height advantage was a lot more prominent back when he played than it would be if he played now. Wilt used his height advantage over smaller players when he played, he couldnt do it that much if he played today, thats all im saying. Bottom Line is that players are bigger today then they were when Wilt played. Because of this he couldnt use his height to his advantage as much if he played it todays NBA. This might have some relevance.... The Great football teams of the 50s couldnt match up with a mediocre college team now. Why?? Because players are faster, stronger, and bigger then they used to be.
