I'm still the Dun Dada of all big men.
The only demise of Shaquille O'Neal will be his age.
I was like, 'Huh? You want my jersey?'
I've read that same formula, but as an athlete I'm classified as phenomenal. You could look it up.
I think I'm one of the patches of the quilt here, myself and Dwyane.
I'm probably going to have to go with Kobester. He's an assassin with LeBron coming right after.
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.
Being the best right now doesn't do anything for my feathers.
You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.
I'm getting older. I'm getting sexier. I'm getting meaner. I can still do what I do.
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'll beat you up right now if you want me to.
The East is going to be pretty easy for me. The Great Chest of the West becomes the Great Beast of the East.
Every team that plays us plays above their heads. That's because of me.
I'm the last in the line of Russells and Chamberlains.
When you feed the big dog, it does whatever you tell him to do.
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?
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.
I wouldn't. I would just go home. I'd fake an injury or something.
I take that as an insult, even at 36.
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.
I'm still the baddest expletive in the world. Yeah, I'm getting older, but Kareem got older. Hakeem got older. I don't need Earthlings' respect. When it's all said and done, my name will be there and it will be mentioned ... unless you Earthlings try to erase it.
You have to foul me to stop me, period.
I told my wife the other day, I'm the Halle Berry of the NBA. Everybody wants this, baby. Everybody wants me.
We want you all to be in shape and look as good as me. Because I will be walking naked on the beach.
