I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn't do that. I am the only one that has to do that.

It's LeBron's team. He's the captain. This is the time in my career where I can fit in. I'm now in the security business. My job is to protect the King, and that's what I'm here to do.

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.

Incense. Books. Just weird.

This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.

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.

I think it was 89.2% cheers and 11.8% boos, but I'm used to that.
