Wilt generated the highest ratings for NBA at a time when league was considered small potatoes.
His 1962 season will never be replicated. 100 points in a game season. They almost beat the Celtics that year in the playoffs. 7 games.
Regarding inferior competition he played against Bill Russell.
He played against shorter players not unskilled
I agree. The average height back then was actually pretty similar to today and the other starting centers were huge players. The exception was that 100 point game, when he was playing the third string center because of injuries and illness.

No 3 point shot in 1962
100 points is still impressive in a professional game regardless of era
Has this happened in high school? Or college?
Maybe Frank Selvy scored 100 in college in the 1950s

I remember that, but for some reason I thought it was one of the Ball brothers.
