But size is just part of the equation in basketball. When I say he's the best ever, I mean when he played, he dominated the opposition like no other player has since -- no player has come close, even. Rules were put in for the sake of competition against him. And the guy played against Bill Russell, the premiere defensive player of the time, about 12 times a year.
I'm 20, so I've never seen him play, I'm just going off of accounts that I've read, seen, etc. But all things considered, he dominated his time like nobody else.
And Kilo, you know that comparing the athleticism of guys then to now doesn't hold any water.
