My father made me who I am. He gave me a basketball and told me to play with the ball, sleep with the ball, dream with the ball. Just don't take it to school. I used it as a pillow, and it never gave me a stiff neck.

I'd heard stuff from out there that I was just another player, that I was too young. I wanted to show I could play with anybody.

I'm dominant every night. I come in every night and get beat up. I never make a face when they try to flagrant or hack-a-Shaq me, because I'm not from this planet. Earthlings don't faze me.

He's the president. I'm the general. Unless I want to get impeached, I got to do what he says.

Well, Doctor, I don't have the diagnosis on that. I'll be sure to do a physical checkup and get back to you.

Talk to the guys that ain't doing nothing, don't talk to me. I just want eight guys out there with me who want to play.

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.
