Back when, in college, Mark Aguirre was a 6-foot seven forward. By the time he reached the NBA Draft, they broke out a tape measure, and he became 6’5”. Heights and weights can someties get dismissed in sports as inaccurate, rightly or wrongly. In the process of this article, I looked up Billy Williams, who was listed as 6’1”, 175 pounds. If a player was notably taller than Williams, that dude was massive. Williams was in the upper crust, in my memory, of being built, in the early-seventies. There were bigger players, but they were, legitimately, big. For their time.
