More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.

Wilt Chamberlain
Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.

Wilt Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain

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 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
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 get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
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
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
We're all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.
Wilt Chamberlain
