Wilt Chamberlain
He fouled out in the fourth quarter, and that's when I really started getting points. He was no more at fault than anyone.
Wilt Chamberlain
I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
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
We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
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
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
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
Wilt Chamberlain
