I'm sure there would have. At the time Wilt was breaking his own record. I did read the article, but my point is that they were doing that to hit 100, not break a record. Wilt sets the record, it doesn't matter if it is 94 or 100 or something between.
As far as competition, this game might be against inferior competition, but his 55 rebounds against Bill Russell is not. Overall I don't see him as playing against lesser because as was said before, there were fewer teams. All the games played against Russell, Thurmond, etc. more than make for games against bums.
