More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.
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
The toughest thing for me was growing up and being stared at and being looked at and being talked about in that particular way. Other than that it was a good childhood.
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
People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.
Wilt Chamberlain
They were willing to do anything to stop me.
Wilt Chamberlain
Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.
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
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
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
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
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
Monogamy is the true path to happiness.
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
When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.
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
We're all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.
Wilt Chamberlain
You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
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
