I don't get tired. I get beat up. You keep chopping on a tree, you need to give the tree some rest so the chlorophyll will fill back up and the tree gets its energy back.

Now I see why everybody who plays for him doesn't like him.

They're going to come to me and they're going to say numbers for three years and I'm going to use my division and if it sounds good when I hear it, then I'll take it. But I'm not going to say I'll take less (than the max) . . . Put it this way. I won't take a BMW from somebody when I know I can get a Maybach from somewhere else.

I'm not going to try to go out there and outdo him. I don't have to try to outdo him, I'm Shaq.

The Miami Heat has the best fans.

If you don't like me, there must be something wrong with you.
