Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.

That's sort of a trick question, and I don't have a trick answer. Next question, please.

I got into foul trouble, so I really kind of had to play on egg shells from there on out.

My children, every time they ask me for something, I tell them to round their old stuff up.

I was fortunate enough to see and handle and take in everything I could while I was playing.

I think Bush came back because Colin Powell was there. Hey, I'm the brigadier general, baby.

I was a medium-level juvenile delinquent from Newark who always dreamed about doing a movie.

Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.

I don't have to shoot from more than two feet. I'm top 50. I've got 23,000 from where I shoot.

Most ferocious was Kobe. Fiercest, most competitive, it was Kobe. D Wade is second after that.

I dribble rhymes like basketball... People call me 'E.T.' What's that, Shaq man? 'Extra Tall.'

All of my projects are done right because I know the game, and I consider myself a rap expert.

He's the president. I'm the general. Unless I want to get impeached, I got to do what he says.

Win or lose, I am programmed to do more. That's because I am the other son of Jorel - Superman.

Stay out of the gentlemen's clubs. Get a lot of rest. Just have fun and relax and stay focused.

I'm not going to try to go out there and outdo him. I don't have to try to outdo him, I'm Shaq.

I'm probably going to have to go with Kobester. He's an assassin with LeBron coming right after.

I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.

Being here feels like I'm out of prison. This is the right place, the right time, the right team.

I know that this is sport first and business second, and people have to do what's right for them.

I'm the first player in history that doesn't want to play defense and still gets in foul trouble.

My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.

Why don't you bring your face up here and let me punch it? Then you can tell me (if I'm stronger).

I'm pretty much able to play any style. I'm not here to demand 40 or 50 shots. But I would like 30.
