Shaq is not the man. He's the man because the NBA wants him to be the man, but before you can be the man, you've got to be the man.

The NBA's chosen ones think I'm setting a bad example? I think they need to look around and stop taking themselves so seriously.

The guy said NBA players are one in a million, ... I said, 'Man, look, I'm going to be that one in a million.'

It's such a luxury in the NBA to have a four man or five man who can step out and make those long shots, ... If you cannot contain the ball, which we've had some trouble with, those type of big men are going to step up and either score on dunks or they are going to draw and kick to another big guy who can knock down that shot.

I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.
