Excellence is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
The only person who can really motivate you is you.
Me shooting 40% at the foul line is just God's way to say nobody's perfect.
I am Superman. And the only thing that can kill Superman is Kryptonite. And Kryptonite doesn't exist.
I don't know how it is for you earthlings, but where I'm from, strength is mental.
The day I stopped worrying about stats is the day I started winning
We're focusing on the whole pie, not a slice. A slice is good, but it's not good enough to get you fat. We're trying to get fat.
The stats win nothing. I'm still sexy. I'm still great.
My secret? See it, and stay focused on it.
I don't believe in pressure. Pressure is when you don't know where your next meal is coming from.
I really get motivated when I have doubters.
I'm a combination of the Terminator and Bambi.
Tell Yao Ming, 'Ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh.'
The biggest thing that will define my legacy is how I've done it, and what I've done, and who I am. I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping, doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way. Went to the police academy to become a police officer. Get his master's in criminal justice, stayed out of trouble. Played for three different teams. Changed three different franchises around. This is a guy who they would have secret meetings about to change the rules. So, that's going to be my legacy: the most dominant player ever.
My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.
When you're righteous, you don't have to tell people that you're righteous.
If I were a painter, you'd be calling me Shaqcasso.
I know how to turn the bad into good always.
Yeah, D-Wade called me up last night and said that he saw some film of me in high school and thinks that my form then was better and that I should shoot like that. I told him I'd think about it and then my pops called and said something like that so I decided to revert back and then.
If I was able to have the game I have and shoot 80% from the line, I'd probably be an arrogant person rather than a humble one. Everything happens for a reason.
Once you learn how to do something, you don't lose it. Unless you die.
They shot the ball well early. What comes out of the microwave hot doesn't always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning.
I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I ate too many Frosted Flakes. I don't remember what I said last night.
My motto is very simple. Win a Ring for the King.
