I'll beat you up right now if you want me to.
I was like, 'Huh? You want my jersey?'
I want to be strong, dominant. Like Wilt Chamberlain.
I just want to keep people entertained.
The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don't know. I'll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don't know anything about him, and it's kinda sad.
We want to win. We want to win big. We want to win the whole thing.
I'm the first player in history that doesn't want to play defense and still gets in foul trouble.
He's the president. I'm the general. Unless I want to get impeached, I got to do what he says.
Georgetown. Alonzo was the guy I always heard about. I've always wanted to measure myself against the best.
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.
I don't ever want to grow up. I guess I'm like Peter Pan. Grown-ups have problems. I want to stay happy.
I want to be known as 'The Big Shakespeare.' It was Shakespeare that said, 'Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them.'
We just need to develop some type of consistency.
It was very frustrating. However, I knew when I saw (official) Bob Delaney out there it would be trouble. You just can't make the mistakes that we did and win in this building.
