More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.
Wilt Chamberlain
It was a different sexual situation going on than it is in the '80s and '90s, and I did a very poor job of describing that.
Wilt Chamberlain
When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.
Wilt Chamberlain
They were willing to do anything to stop me.
Wilt Chamberlain
I think a lot of ladies found me so attractive because I was different, and I acted on that in a way.
Wilt Chamberlain
I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
Wilt Chamberlain
All of the sudden, my right leg caved in. I crumpled to the floor in pain. The doctor weren't sure I'd ever be able to play again...and even if I did recover physically, the psychological scars of so traumatic an injury might never heal.
Wilt Chamberlain
But the point of using the number was to show that sex was a great part of my life as basketball was a great part of my life. That's the reason why I was single.
Wilt Chamberlain
We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
Wilt Chamberlain
It seemed like whatever I touched, I was breaking record after record. I just knew I was on. I completely destroyed all existing shooting records there - an omen of things to come.
Wilt Chamberlain
This is a team game and one man doesn't win and one man doesn't lose. In the end, the best team usually wins.
Wilt Chamberlain
It just wasn't right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they're told to hold the ball.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Wilt Chamberlain
Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.
Wilt Chamberlain
A big dog tends to be much more at ease with kids and gentle with them than a little one that's always yelping.
Wilt Chamberlain
I guarantee you, if you could give me 10 points in all those seventh games against the Boston Celtics, instead of Bill Russell having 11 rings, I could've at least had nine or eight.
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
I believe that good things come to those who work.
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
Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.
Wilt Chamberlain
