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.

More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
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 believe that good things come to those who work.
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
If you have ability in a certain area, why not capitalize on it and improve it and use it?
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 just wasn't right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they're told to hold the ball.
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
I think a lot of ladies found me so attractive because I was different, and I acted on that in a way.
Wilt Chamberlain
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Wilt Chamberlain
Scoring 100 points is a lot, but I maybe could have scored 140 if they had played straight-up basketball.
Wilt Chamberlain
It seemed like whatever I touched, I was breaking record after record. I just knew I was on. I completely destroyed all existing shooting records there - an omen of things to come.
Wilt Chamberlain
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
Wilt Chamberlain
Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.
Wilt Chamberlain
Monogamy is the true path to happiness.
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
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
People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.
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
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
