Wilt Chamberlain
If you have ability in a certain area, why not capitalize on it and improve it and use it?
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
The man who won't loan money isn't going to have many friends - or need them.
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
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
It was a challenge to my teammates to help me.
Wilt Chamberlain
You must understand as a kid of color in those days, the Harlem Globetrotters were like being movie stars.
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
I'm a big man and I like big dogs.... The dogs kept growing until only one of us could get in the elevator. It caused enough hassles so they finally kicked me out of my apartment.
Wilt Chamberlain
