    13 seasons as the Celtics small forward. The last time he played shooting guard full-time was 68-69. 6,5 wasn't terribly undersized for a small-forward in the mid-60s. On most all-time lists, he's listed as a small forward with Bird, Dr. J, and Pippen. You could say the same about Paul Pierce who most people list as a small forward, even though he has played guard for a good period of time in his career and does switch over from time to time. Billy Cunningham was 6,6, and actually played power forward some years. Most shooting guards in those days ranged aroudn 6,2-6,5, and 6,5 being the threshold.

    You can pretty much add 1.5-2 inches to all those old heights since they are all in socks. E.g., Wilt would get listed at 7'3 today, Bill Russell would be 6'11, Havlicek would probably be 6'7, etc.
