Shaquille O'Neal
It's just one more win. I don't give a [bleep] how we do it, as long as we get it done. Did I say [bleep]? I'm sorry.Collection: Sorry
The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.Collection: Basketball
I endorse only products I actually use. Like Wheaties keeps offering me money, but I don't eat Wheaties, so I can't do it. Now, if Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes offered me a deal, I'd take it right away. Apple Jacks, I'd be on the box in a heartbeat. Apple Shaqs. Yeah.Collection: Offering
I think I'm the only player who looks at each and every center and says to myself, 'That's barbecued chicken down there.'Collection: Basketball
As my great friend Aristotle said, 'If you cannot command, you must learn to listen.' I'm not the hierarchy here. I am a worker bee.Collection: Basketball
You guys make the rules up, so a foul is a foul. It doesn't matter if a guy is bigger and stronger. It's not my fault I ate my Frosted Flakes when I was little, and you ate Wheaties.Collection: Nba
Because I grew up with a drill sergeant in my life, I respect order and it really gave me the discipline to be a leader and not a follower. It also helped me stay out of trouble.Collection: Basketball
Probably a lack of concentration. I always hit them during practice. I just need to concentrate. Even though I should a lousy percentage, I beat a lot of teams from the line. You have to have mechanics. But see, what people don't know about my wrists is my wrists don't go all the way back. My wrists are crooked and don't go all the way back. I've been practicing and working on them. You can't do everything good.Collection: Basketball
Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.Collection: Basketball
Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know.Collection: Basketball
Stats don't matter. I care about winning, not stats. If I score 0 points and we win I'm happy. If I score 50, 60 points, break the records, and we lose, I'm pissed off. 'Cause I knew I did something wrong. I'll have a hell of a season if I win the championship and average 20 points a game.Collection: Basketball
Kobe always tried to be a hero. But you know, as the saying goes, a hero ain't nothing but a sandwich.Collection: Basketball
Talk to the guys that ain't doing nothing, don't talk to me. I just want eight guys out there with me who want to play.Collection: Basketball
Every time that I've won a championship I've looked at my guys around me and looked at their work ethic and said 'You know what, I'm going to win it this year. I feel that way now.Collection: Basketball
There's no answer for my offense, just like the polythagorean theorem.Collection: Stupid
Pluto is not a planet, but I am.Collection: Basketball
I'm still here. I'm a force to be reckoned with... you have to come take my spot, and not through Twitter and not through the media, come take my spot. I'm ready to go. As big men in the league, there are two who have done something special during this millennium. I'm one and Tim Duncan is the other. Anyone else has to come upstairs and see the Shogun. I'm still the Shogun.Collection: Basketball
I would like to be referred to as 'The Big Aristotle'.Collection: Basketball
Before I became the 'Great Test of the West," I was the 'Beast of the East.'Collection: Basketball
We're going to do it again next year. We'll see you again next year. Yeah, I said it. Yeah, I said it. We will do it again next year.Collection: Basketball
I'm not worried about facing the Sacramento Queens. Write it down. Take a picture. I'm not going to talk about this all year. When I get back, there's going to be trouble.Collection: Basketball
I'm not a young jitterbug anymore. When I was a young jitterbug, I never won. I didn't start winning until I got older. The older I get, the wiser I get. You just have to play it smart.Collection: Basketball
This really isn't a game we really should be proud of. This game is liking taking your kids to the zoo. You're supposed to take your kids to the zoo. You're a father. So a team like that, we're supposed to beat them like this.Collection: Basketball
I told our guys they must not have cable because Antoine Walker knows how to play, Derek Anderson can play, Shandon Anderson knows how to play, and Gary Payton knows how play.Collection: Basketball
If I don't get five [titles], I won't be happy with myself as a basketball player. I don't know how you guys will feel about me.Collection: Basketball
I respect the older guys.Collection: Basketball
The Miami Heat has the best fans.Collection: Basketball
I love the Miami atmosphere.Collection: Basketball
I don't see us having a problem. It's going to be my job to manage the locker room, anyway, so it will work out.Collection: Basketball
But you can not compare Yao's stats to mine. You just can't compare it and I am playing everyone one-on-one.Collection: Basketball
Can't nobody [mess] with me. I'm like toilet paper, Pampers and toothpaste. I'm definitely proven to be effective.Collection: Basketball
I knew I was going to make one. I wanted to make two, but the first one rattled in and rattled right out.Collection: Basketball
If they want to play football, we can play football.Collection: Basketball
We would love to have Gary down here. He's still tenacious on defense, and I know he still wants [a title]. And I'm the only guy in the world who can get him one.Collection: Basketball
We're going to miss Damon. He was a great shooter. . . . He got what he wanted, but he gave up a lot. No more night life, no more warm weather and no more a lot of media attention. . . . I guess this was his first shot at getting something big. I guess he had to take it.Collection: Basketball
I've won at every level, except college and pro.Collection: Basketball
I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. And the one guy who didn't vote for me, thank you, too.Collection: Inspirational
I'm not really worried about my numbers now as a 36-year-old. I'm not trying to be the first, experimental case of a 36-year-older trying to maintain his numbers, especially when I'm on a team like this. Can I do the same stuff I could do when I was Amare's age? Of course not. I'm not going to even try. However, I feel that I'm the baddest 36-year-old out there.Collection: Basketball
I don't have to shoot from more than two feet. I'm top 50. I've got 23,000 from where I shoot.Collection: Basketball
I told my wife the other day, I'm the Halle Berry of the NBA. Everybody wants this, baby. Everybody wants me.Collection: Basketball
The East is going to be pretty easy for me. The Great Chest of the West becomes the Great Beast of the East.Collection: Basketball
I'll beat you up right now if you want me to.Collection: Basketball
I wouldn't. I would just go home. I'd fake an injury or something.Collection: Basketball
You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.Collection: Basketball
I'm probably going to have to go with Kobester. He's an assassin with LeBron coming right after.Collection: Basketball
We had more great times than bad times together, but they've moved on, I've moved on. I have a new team now and I have a new focus.Collection: Basketball
How can Benedict Arnold be reliable in what he says?Collection: Basketball
Since I suffered the injury on company time, why shouldn't I also be able to get surgery and do recovery on company time?Collection: Basketball
I didn't say anything. Got nothing to say. I'm a married man; I don't need a relationship with another man.Collection: Basketball
