Wilt Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain
Nobody seems to appreciate what an incredible player Wilt was, Russell said at 1997 All-Star Game when the league named and honored its 50 greatest players. He was the best player of all time because he dominated the floor like nobody else ever could. To be that big and that athletic was special.
Wilt Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain
If I were given a change of life, I'd like to see how it would be to live as a mere six-footer.
Wilt Chamberlain
My thing I liked was to challenge guys that were smaller, guys that were supposed to be quicker. Because I think self-consciously I was trying to prove to people it wasn't just my height that was getting me across in these various sports. It was some other intrinsic things that I had that made me a good athlete.
