In this millennium that we live in, the 'Hack-a-Shaq'has proven not to work. It might work a couple games every now and then, but when it comes to the playoffs or a championship series, it doesn't work - not at all.

I'm a season kind of guy - not the preseason but the regular season.

You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn't do without me.

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

I knew I was going to make one. I wanted to make two, but the first one rattled in and rattled right out.

I'm a cop, and cops talk. They called me the day he did it, but did you ever hear me say anything about it? I played ball, because that's how I am. I'm true.

It was a weird game. There was ugly shooting and a lot of turnovers and mistakes, and we were just fortunate to get the win. I should have done better, but it was just a very ugly and weird game... I knew the game was going to be an ugly game when I saw those three guys at the scorer's table. Ugly people call ugly games.
