March 12, 1955 San Francisco vs Oregon State: http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/b...

20 year old Bill Russell listed at 6-10 215lbs at the time, versus Wade 'Swede' Halbrook listed 7-3 and cited at 245lbs that particular season. Despite their difference in height and weight, an interesting news article from the time points out that Bill Russell had an even higher standing reach than Halbrook. Russell's height w/o shoes was cited that year at 6-9 and 5/8ths with an armspan of 7 feet 4 inches.
