When I'm done playing basketball, I want do something bigger. I'm working on my doctorate right now at Barry University in Florida.

I'm done with the nicknames. Actually, when I obtain my doctorate, I will not allow people to call me Shaq anymore, either.

And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.

I knew I was dog meat. Luckily, I'm the high-priced dog meat that everybody wants. I'm the good-quality dog meat. I'm the Alpo of the NBA.

It was very, very humiliating. It's very, very humiliating. It's vital that I won't be playing like that on Sunday. And I'll be making sure that I won't be playing like that.

I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.
