The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.
Shaquille O'NealI don't believe that I personally have been changed by the money. The bad thing is people assume you've changed because now you have money.
Shaquille O'NealI 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'NealWe had more great times than bad times together, but they've moved on, I've moved on. I have a new team now and I have a new focus.
