It was some other intrinsic things that I had that made me a good athlete.
Wilt Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain
I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
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
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
People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.
Wilt Chamberlain
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
