I don't listen to people who can't do stuff that I do.
I'm still the baddest expletive in the world. Yeah, I'm getting older, but Kareem got older. Hakeem got older. I don't need Earthlings' respect. When it's all said and done, my name will be there and it will be mentioned ... unless you Earthlings try to erase it.
You like that analogy? That was pretty good?
When you feed the big dog, it does whatever you tell him to do.
I'm one year older, one year sexier - one more, baby. For me, it's all about the bigger picture. We want to win the whole thing. We've got to beat whoever is in our way.
I don't have to shoot from more than two feet. I'm top 50. I've got 23,000 from where I shoot.
I'm getting older. I'm getting sexier. I'm getting meaner. I can still do what I do.
Being the best right now doesn't do anything for my feathers.
I'm upset at myself. I should have had 50. I missed 13 free throws. That's unacceptable. If I want to be accepted by Wilt and Kareem and Russell I've got to start playing better than that. Right now I'm still in the class of Hakeem and David Robinson and that's not good enough for me. I want to be out there with the immortals.
As a general, and as a leader of this team, whatever I've got to do get my guys going I'll do it every time. If I have to be the bad guy sometime, I'll guess I'll take that. That's what a leader and a general and a chief of police does. Everybody is not going to like it, but I don't care if they like or not. I'm Bush, so if they don't like it resign.
I think I'm one of the patches of the quilt here, myself and Dwyane.
I've read that same formula, but as an athlete I'm classified as phenomenal. You could look it up.
I'm going back to the old Shaq. I was normal last year - I was an earthling last summer. I had to go back to my alien roots.
I was like, 'Huh? You want my jersey?'
