The two top teams with nice weather and nice people were Dallas and Miami. Of course, the Lakers wouldn't want to trade me in the same conference, so Miami was perfect.
I think it was 89.2% cheers and 11.8% boos, but I'm used to that.
I was kind of hoping it was Anna Kournikova.
The problem with kids these days is they don't have enough fun stuff to do. When I was stationed with my family in Germany, youth basketball programs gave me something to strive to do my best at.
That game was dedicated to Rick Adelman. I'm at home, in the bathroom, trying to take a dump, flipping through the channels and he's complaining (on TV) about how I'm stepping over the line. I can't even do a No. 2 in peace. I'm sitting there grunting at 12:30 at night. Can I go one day without somebody saying something negative about me?
Coach (Pat) Riley told us on June 8 we'd win the title on June 20.
Now, the mistakes that I made with my other two sons, Penny and Kobe, I won't make with D-Wade. We can't let them break us up and we can't break each other up.
My motto is very simple. Win a Ring for the King.
I'm not going to go home and drink rat urine.
Everything is done out of respect, whether it's a cheer or a boo.
It's over now. He said what he had to say, I said what I had to say. Don't play with me. Seriously, don't play with me.
Now I see why everybody who plays for him doesn't like him.
It was a cheap shot. They won the game, move on. My thing is, I don't ask for a lot, but I demand my respect, especially from a guy like that.
If he wants to get that next contract, he's going to have to go to the New York Athletic Club three times a day and just ride the bike.
