More quotes by 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
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 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
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
Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Wilt Chamberlain
We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
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
It is said that good things come to those who wait. I believe that good things come to those who work.
Wilt Chamberlain
They were so clever finding ways to get me the ball. They had to do more than just give up open shots. They had to avoid fouls and pass me the ball in traffic.
Wilt Chamberlain
If you have ability in a certain area, why not capitalize on it and improve it and use it?
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
Monogamy is the true path to happiness.
Wilt Chamberlain
We're all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.
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
I believe that good things come to those who work.
Wilt Chamberlain
I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
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
Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.
Wilt Chamberlain
