More quotes by Wilt Chamberlain
It was a challenge to my teammates to help me.
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
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
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
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
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
That's my tag, whether I like it or not.
Wilt Chamberlain
Scoring 100 points is a lot, but I maybe could have scored 140 if they had played straight-up basketball.
Wilt Chamberlain
We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
Wilt Chamberlain
