As my great friend Aristotle said, 'If you cannot command, you must learn to listen.' I'm not the hierarchy here. I am a worker bee.

Every time that I've won a championship I've looked at my guys around me and looked at their work ethic and said 'You know what, I'm going to win it this year. I feel that way now.

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

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

If you go 72-11 and don't win (the championship), it doesn't mean anything. Actually it does. It means you've cheated and played an extra regular-season game.

I respect the older guys.

(The Hack-A-Shaq is) just a way of telling me that you can't stop me. Thank you. I appreciate it.
