I'm just right down the middle, man, ... It doesn't matter to me. I'd love him (Phil Jackson) as a coach. It doesn't matter to me. If they want him here, he'll be here. If he wants to come, he'll come, he'll coach and we'll go from there.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

He shouldn't have been in the NBA, but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard.

He [Phil Jackson] is such a basketball genius in terms of the details of the game, the little nuances of the game and the rhythm of the game.

I don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.
