More quotes by 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
Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.
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.
Wilt Chamberlain
I was played the villain so much because I was bigger and stronger than most, and they cast me as the villain everywhere I went.
Wilt Chamberlain
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
Wilt Chamberlain
We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
Wilt Chamberlain
With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.
Wilt Chamberlain
