“They asked me when I was out there, ‘Why do you want to be traded?’ I said me staying here is like divorcing my wife and marrying someone who looks like me. That’s backwards, man.”

Pluto is not a planet, but I am.

Everything happens for a reason.

Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way. Went to the police academy to become a police officer.

I don’t believe in pressure. Pressure is when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.

I’m a very quotatious person.

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.

I ate too many Frosted Flakes. I don’t remember what I said last night.

I told him I’d think about it and then my pops called and said something like that so I decided to revert back and then.

You guys make the rules up, so a foul is a foul. It doesn’t matter if a guy is bigger and stronger. It’s not my fault I ate my Frosted Flakes when I was little, and you ate Wheaties.

That was a foul, young lady. You know that was a foul. Don’t ask dumb questions.

I really get motivated when I have doubters.

I think I’m the only player who looks at each and every center and says to myself, ‘That’s barbecued chicken down there.’

I respect order and it really gave me the discipline to be a leader and not a follower. It also helped me stay out of trouble.

We want to win. We want to win big. We want to win the whole thing.

Everybody is not going to like it, but I don’t care if they like or not. I’m Bush, so if they don’t like it resign.

This is a guy who they would have secret meetings about to change the rules. So, that’s going to be my legacy: the most dominant player ever.

I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.

I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Every time I go to big events, it’s a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn’t really be there.

I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.

Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason.

We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well.

I don’t like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with – that’s the way I was raised – but I just can’t see what’s so wrong about being gay.

There are moments when you love babies, and you’re like, “God, they are the reason why we exist.” Then they start crying, and you’re like “God! Jesus!”
