Half those centers you listed was drafted after 1966-67. (Kareem, Billy, Craig, Elmore) list goes on. Note - He made history March 2nd of 1962.
With that being said take a look at how things changed when competition started to come around.
60 - 37.6
61 - 38.4
62 - 50.4
63 - 44.8
64 - 36.9
65 - 34.7
66 - 33.5
67 - 24.1
68 - 24.3
70 - 20.5
Wilt was extremely talented, I'm not knocking him but we all know Hakeem The Dream the greatest center of all time.

Knicks C in the 100 pt game:
18 Darrall Imhoff C Height: 6-10 Weight: 220
8 Phil Jordon C Height: 6-10. Weight: 205
Compared to Wilt
13 Wilt Chamberlain Height:7-1 Weight: 275
Thats like asking a high school player to guard Kobe in a full game. Yes, He would drop over 100 pts.

LOL "when the competition started to come around" you mean when Wilt started to become plagued by injuries and wasn't giving a fuck about basketball. Wilt is still the best Center to ever play w/ over 72 NBA records. You are right however that the centers he played against vs knicks in the 100 pt game were weaker than wilt however comparing a 6ft10 220 lb professional nba player guarding Wilt to a high school player guarding Kobe is retarded.

FGA-FGM: 36-63 FTA-FTM: 28-32 that's Wilt. Kobe STILL took nearly 50 shots.
Wilt shot 57% here (Still impressive, but that's w/ no 3pters and 12 more FTS.)
I'm going to say Kobe's was more impressive TBH.

Not that wilt would of taken 3 pointers but of course Kobe did....There was no 3 pt line back then
