More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
They were willing to do anything to stop me.
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
I think a lot of ladies found me so attractive because I was different, and I acted on that in a way.
Wilt Chamberlain
We're all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.
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
I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
Wilt Chamberlain
I believe that good things come to those who work.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.
Wilt Chamberlain
You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars.
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
If you have ability in a certain area, why not capitalize on it and improve it and use it?
Wilt Chamberlain
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
Wilt Chamberlain
I've prided myself on being in excellent condition-as good as any man in my profession. Now this doesn't come from sitting around on your rear end. This comes from hard, hard 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
Monogamy is the true path to happiness.
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
It is said that good things come to those who wait. I believe that good things come to those who work.
Wilt Chamberlain
I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
Wilt Chamberlain
When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.
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
