“I don’t think it’s for me” – Wilt Chamberlain says conventional marriage didn’t fit his lifestyle during the ’60s and ’70s
Chamberlain was never a firm believer in the concept of marriage.
Wilt Chamberlain was a center whose playing style was far ahead of its time. He was a pioneer who proved that a big man could dominate scoring and defense at the same time to be the most impactful player on the court.

Still, his impact was felt off the court as well. His worldwide view and personal choices also differed significantly from those of his peers. This became particularly evident in an old interview where the four-time MVP explained that the idea of marriage did not appeal to him, largely because of the fast-paced lifestyle he maintained as an NBA athlete.

Chamberlain believes marriage would become “vogue” again
For years, rumors circulated regarding Wilt’s popularity among women, including the widely popularized claim that he had been physically involved with 20,000 women. With that level of attention, many assumed that “The Big Dipper” would naturally desire stability and choose to settle down.

However, Wilt held a different view.

While most players of his era lived traditionally, with wives, children and a structured domestic routine, Chamberlain stated openly that he had no interest in pursuing such a life.

Moreover, he made it clear how the concept of marriage did not intrigue him, though he never dismissed the idea completely. He frequently said he might consider it later, yet he also believed marriage itself was becoming outdated in the cultural environment of the 1960s and ’70s.

“Marriage? Wonderful institution for women and children, I don’t think so. But against, the house I believe in the percentages faith and right now in America, in our style of living, the fast pace of what’s going on here – marriage, maybe, somewhat outdated, maybe, five or ten years from now. It’ll be an end thing, it’ll be vogue again,” Chamberlin said. “Against for me, though, I never like to say no or conclusively no to any one-on-one thing. So, marriage is open, but it’s a long way away, I think.”
