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
Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.
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
Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.
Wilt Chamberlain
With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.
Wilt Chamberlain
When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.
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
They were willing to do anything to stop me.
Wilt Chamberlain
I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
Wilt Chamberlain
