“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.”

If I were a painter, you’d be calling me Shaqcasso.

My secret? See it, and stay focused on it.

Anyone else has to come upstairs and see the Shogun. I’m still the Shogun.

I am Superman. And the only thing that can kill Superman is Kryptonite. And Kryptonite doesn’t exist.

When I come back, we’ll all need each other to step up our games and do what needs to be done.

It was a weird game. There was ugly shooting and a lot of turnovers and mistakes, and we were just fortunate to get the win.

He’s a jokester, and that’s funny, very funny. Ha-ha. Very funny.

My motto is very simple. Win a Ring for the King.

The only person who can really motivate you is you.

Get his master’s in criminal justice, stayed out of trouble. Played for three different teams. Changed three different franchises around.

I should have done better, but it was just a very ugly and weird game… I knew the game was going to be an ugly game when I saw those three guys at the scorer’s table. Ugly people call ugly games.

I’m on a mission. And I know the older I get, I may lose a step or two, but it’s all up in the medulla oblongata. I’ve got a lot up there. I’ve got a lot of knowledge… in this medulla oblongata.

As a general, and as a leader of this team, whatever I’ve got to do get my guys going I’ll do it every time. If I have to be the bad guy sometime, I’ll guess I’ll take that. That’s what a leader and a general and a chief of police does.

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’m pissed off. ‘Cause I knew I did something wrong. I’ll have a hell of a season if I win the championship and average 20 points a game.

I’m dominant every night. I come in every night and get beat up.

When you hold somebody, you gotta hold them like it’s the last minute of your life.

Enjoy the present hour, Be thankful for the past, And neither fear nor wish Th’ approaches of the last.

Nothing is there to come, and nothing past, But an eternal Now does always last.

Blown roses hold their sweetness to the last.

You have had your last bad meal. But, you have also heard your last honest compliment, and you have lost your last true friend.

Some People are more turned on by money than they are by love. In one respect they’re alike. They’re both wonderful as long as they last.

The time will come when every change shall cease, This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace: No summer then shall glow, not winter freeze; Nothing shall be to come, and nothing past, But an eternal now shall ever last.
