I don't really consider myself one of those superstars. I just consider myself a guy that was lucky enough to win the athletic lottery many times over.
If you're going to hire an assassin, let him go out and kill someone. I can't be Shaq taking six or seven shots.
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 have a lot left. There's only four or five good centers in the league and I'm in that number. ... I've been in it for 17 years but I've missed three years because of injury. If you do the math, I've still got three years left. You got that?
When you feed the big dog, it does whatever you tell him to do.
I'm the last in the line of Russells and Chamberlains.
Every team that plays us plays above their heads. That's because of me.
The East is going to be pretty easy for me. The Great Chest of the West becomes the Great Beast of the East.
I'll beat you up right now if you want me to.
I don't have to shoot from more than two feet. I'm top 50. I've got 23,000 from where I shoot.
I'm getting older. I'm getting sexier. I'm getting meaner. I can still do what I do.
You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.
Being the best right now doesn't do anything for my feathers.
I'm upset at myself. I should have had 50. I missed 13 free throws. That's unacceptable. If I want to be accepted by Wilt and Kareem and Russell I've got to start playing better than that. Right now I'm still in the class of Hakeem and David Robinson and that's not good enough for me. I want to be out there with the immortals.
I'm probably going to have to go with Kobester. He's an assassin with LeBron coming right after.
I think I'm one of the patches of the quilt here, myself and Dwyane.
I've read that same formula, but as an athlete I'm classified as phenomenal. You could look it up.
I was like, 'Huh? You want my jersey?'
The only demise of Shaquille O'Neal will be his age.
I'm still the Dun Dada of all big men.
I am aware that most people only see me as Shaq... the guy on the court. But there is another side to who I am, Shaquille O'Neal. And Shaquille O'Neal wants to explore every part of life. He wants the opportunity to pursue all of his desires. That includes being a part of the music industry as an MC. Music is and will always be a part of who I am.
That's sort of a trick question, and I don't have a trick answer. Next question, please. You're not going to get me with that question today, buddy...I'm a veteran at this, buddy. Can't get that with me, buddy. Not today.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You all should be spanked for this.
I've been an athlete that's sort of in advance; always thinking. After basketball I'd love to have my own radio show, my own TV show.
I told my wife when I was rolling up, I felt like the president.
