I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.

I endorse only products I actually use. Like Wheaties keeps offering me money, but I don't eat Wheaties, so I can't do it. Now, if Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes offered me a deal, I'd take it right away. Apple Jacks, I'd be on the box in a heartbeat. Apple Shaqs. Yeah.

I just said to myself, 'Damn, I'm a great player.'

All of my projects are done right because I know the game, and I consider myself a rap expert.

I wouldn't. I would just go home. I'd fake an injury or something.

Y'all reporters like my quotes, don't you. Yeah, my quotes are Shaqalicious.

I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean?
