Wilt was the greatest college B Ball player EVER

Interestingly i disagree.. the D'Antoni Impact is in full effect solidified in concrete by the recent successes of the Heat and Spurs.. the last "big team" to win it all was the Lakers..
Now its a point guard, floor spacing, stretch-4 kind of NBA.. further all the emphasis on pick and roll offense has made the big, lumbering, rim protecting big more of a liability than an asset. Chris Bosh was the NBA best pick and roll defender at the 5 spot.. think about that for a second. .
The pace and space NBA requires centers who are longer than tall, quicker than strong, morw limber than lumber.. i think that in next ten years as the new generation develops talent the era of dominant bigs will be as much a distant memory as the NBA brawls of yesteryear
