I blame Riley for my broken thumb, not Matt Geiger. That ain't defense Miami is playing. That's just chopping. I have no idea how his team gets away with it. I guess when you've been in the league 30 years you can do it. Respect, he gets it - he's like John Gotti. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000307815

The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don't know. I'll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don't know anything about him, and it's kinda sad. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000312432

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000321196
Word has it, they think I'm an old man, and they're not gonna double me. My message is that I'm the baddest for my age bracketest. What I mean by age bracketest is that I came in at 20, I was the baddest 20, and I'm the baddest at 35. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000354153
I failed, I think, seven [or] eight times before I finally got my first [championship]. It was just, you know, just about me growing up. Now that I'm an old, old veteran-age 29-I do things a lot differently. I don't go to the gentlemen's clubs anymore. I had to slow that down. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000381071
I think the new ball is terrible. It's the worst decision some expert, whoever did it, made. It's terrible. It's like touching an exotic dancer and then going and touching a plastic blow-up doll. You know, it feels different. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000381392
When I first came in, I partied and had a good time. I used to spend $500,000 on chains that don't make no sense. Then I started having babies. I don't do the bull**** no more. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000381687
I painted my toenails before Dennis Rodman. One time at training camp, I stubbed my toe and the nail came loose. My mom gave me some toenail hardener, and I painted over it. I scored 40-something points that night, so it became a ritual. Paint my toenails, score 40 points. -- Shaquille O'neal

Thank God I had two parents who loved me enough to stay on my case. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000382190
If you want Shaq to be Shaq, you've got to remember that Shaq is known for wreaking havoc offensively - 26,000-plus points without consistently making free throws. Don't have me doing something I'm not used to doing. I ain't used to being a pick-setter. Let me badda-bing, badda-bang. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000405987
We're the most experienced team in the league. I think we got a little too happy, running our mouths, jumping up and down, looking at the Heat dancers and all of that stuff. We had to step it up and show them what we're all about. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000409472
Do we play Chicago again? I going to hit Othella Harrington right in the mouth. If he didn't have his clumsy ass on the floor, I wouldn't have fell. How he got on the ground, I don't know. He's clumsy. Quote me on that. I'm going to get him. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000409476
I got it, I dove on the floor, he dove on my head and I hit my teeth on the ground. It was just one of my police reactions to get that criminal off me. -- Shaquille O'neal

I'm a combination of the Terminator and Bambi. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000418575

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000418601
But you can not compare Yao's stats to mine. You just can't compare it and I am playing everyone one-on-one. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000421194
How did Mike Bibby get on the team? Any Cub Scout with Boy Scouts can do Boy Scoutish things. When Bibby was in the Cub Scouts, he was a Cub Scout. When he was with Vancouver, nobody heard about him. Now that he's with Sacramento ... he's on the team. I ain't going. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000432815
Whenever I see a celebrity that comes to watch me play, I'm going to do for them the same thing they've done for me - bring them some type of joy. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000440997
Some of my favorite songs
and I don't know if this is the right terminology
are white-boy classics. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000450964
Stats don't matter. I care about winning, not stats. If I score 0 points and we win I'm happy. If I score 50, 60 points, break the records, and we lose, 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. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000457573
Most ferocious was Kobe. Fiercest, most competitive, it was Kobe. D Wade is second after that. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000460130

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000480527
Sometimes I feel like the Tom Hanks character in Big. But my life is not a movie. I never have to go back to Coney Island to find the fortune-teller machine so I have to grow up again. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000492363
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. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000492834
The NBA's been around how long? A hundred years? Fifty years? So to change it now, whoever that person is needs his college degree revoked ... Whoever did that needs to be fired. It was terrible, a terrible decision. Awful. I might get fined for saying that, but so what? -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000496015

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000496018
We're going to miss Damon. He was a great shooter ... He got what he wanted, but he gave up a lot. No more night life, no more warm weather and no more a lot of media attention ... I guess this was his first shot at getting something big. I guess he had to take it. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000513670

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000561429
About strip clubs and athletes. The best way I can explain why a lot of players end up there is because it's one of the safest places a high-profile person can spend time in a boring city. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000566502
There was not too much to do as a kid when we arrived in Germany. Playing basketball and listening to music gave me something to do. -- Shaquille O'neal
Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000572741
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. -- Shaquille O'neal

Shaquille O'neal Quotes : pic 000636714
