There were 5 rule that were changed because of him:

-Defensive Goaltending
-Size of the lane/paint (from 6 to 12 feet)
-Free throw shooting (players cannot cross the plane of the free-throw line, even if your feet are not touching the ground, until the ball hits the rim or passes through the basket)
-Inbounding the Ball (lobbing the ball in from the baseline directly over the backboard so a player could catch it near the basket)

Wilt is my personal, biased favorite for the GOAT, but objectively, is a clear case of different eras being incomparable.
I still think he'd average 30/20 in today's game. His team might not win much in today's game, but that was always Wilt's problem anyway.
