I’m playing like Eric Dampier.
Dampier is soft. Quote it, underline it, tape it and send it to him.
Flash, take the game off. I’ll go out and do the work.
That dude scored 8 points in the last 19 seconds, pulled out a miracle win at the Garden. He made me choke on a chicken bone that day. I’m serious.
I think he got an incidental elbow in the face, messed up his pretty red lips a little bit. But other than that he’ll be fine.
It’s a different role for me, playing with the great Dwyane Wade.
It’s pretty much the same; it’s just that Phil was very weird with his system. This is more of the traditional system.
The only demise of Shaquille O’Neal will be his age.
I take that as an insult, even at 36.
You like that analogy? That was pretty good?
I’m more like a senior adviser so I don’t like to come in here and try to take over. Just like your basic karate movie where the young guys come to the old guys with beards who have them do weird stuff to get to the other side. That’s who I am, the old guy with a long beard.
I think I’m one of the patches of the quilt here, myself and Dwyane.
I don’t listen to people who can’t do stuff that I do.
Word has it, they think I’m an old man, and they’re not gonna double me. My message is that I’m the baddest for my age bracketest. What I mean by age bracketest is that I came in at 20, I was the baddest 20, and I’m the baddest at 35.
Georgetown. Alonzo was the guy I always heard about. I’ve always wanted to measure myself against the best.
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.
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.’
If I get that thing down there in that area, that’s 67% lifetime. If you don’t believe me, Google it. I’m on the Internet.
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.
