I'm still the Dun Dada of all big men.
The only demise of Shaquille O'Neal will be his age.
I'm still here. I'm a force to be reckoned with... you have to come take my spot, and not through Twitter and not through the media, come take my spot. I'm ready to go. As big men in the league, there are two who have done something special during this millennium. I'm one and Tim Duncan is the other. Anyone else has to come upstairs and see the Shogun. I'm still the Shogun.
I have a lot left. There's only four or five good centers in the league and I'm in that number. ... I've been in it for 17 years but I've missed three years because of injury. If you do the math, I've still got three years left. You got that?
Przybilla can't guard me when I'm 27, 37 or 47.
I think I'm the only player who looks at each and every center and says to myself, 'That's barbecued chicken down there.'
I'd heard stuff from out there that I was just another player, that I was too young. I wanted to show I could play with anybody.
If you go around the league, anybody with the last name 'vich' is a great shooter. Radmanovic, Vujacic... all those 'iches.
I'm like President Bush. You may not like me, you may not respect me, but you voted me in.
I don't send messages, I'm not a fax machine
To all the young people out there who think money and fame is important: that's only a small piece of the pie. You need an education to be totally secure in life. I feel very secure I can go get a real job now.
Georgetown. Alonzo was the guy I always heard about. I've always wanted to measure myself against the best.
Incense. Books. Just weird.
If you want Shaq to be Shaq, you've got to remember that Shaq is known for wreaking havoc offensively - 26,000-plus points without consistently making free throws. Don't have me doing something I'm not used to doing. I ain't used to being a pick-setter. Let me badda-bing, badda-bang.
