When I get old, I'm going to the old folks' home. I don't want to be one of those guys who's hanging around the house bothering the kids. But not just any old folks' home. I want the whole top floor.
And if the big dog ain't me, then the house won't get guarded period.
I feel like Bill Walton - old and shitty.
I think it's a great city. I think it's a fabulous city. But in my young juvenile days, I was an idiot, and I bought 30 cars. And I need to drive those cars, and New York isn't really the place you can do that.
Nietzsche was so intelligent and advanced. And that's how I am. I'm the black, basketball-playing Nietzsche.
I knew I was going to make one. I wanted to make two, but the first one rattled in and rattled right out.
I made a 1,600 minus 800 minus 200 on the SAT, so I'm very intelligent when I speak.
Can't nobody [mess] with me. I'm like toilet paper, Pampers and toothpaste. I'm definitely proven to be effective.
But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older.
But you can not compare Yao's stats to mine. You just can't compare it and I am playing everyone one-on-one.
But, hey I did everything the right way and earned my spot in this game, nothing was given to me.
I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.
I don't see us having a problem. It's going to be my job to manage the locker room, anyway, so it will work out.
I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn't do that. I am the only one that has to do that.
