It's a different role for me, playing with the great Dwyane Wade.

I said it jokingly, so this guy was just trying to stir something up that's not there. He's just somebody who doesn't have a sense of humor, like I do.

If you want Shaq to be Shaq, you've got to remember that Shaq is known for wreaking havoc offensively - 26,000-plus points without consistently making free throws. Don't have me doing something I'm not used to doing. I ain't used to being a pick-setter. Let me badda-bing, badda-bang.

Everybody talks about being a role model. But if you look up the word 'role' in a dictionary, it describes playing a part. Everything I'm into, it's real to me. There's nothing fake about it.

I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.

As a military child I first learned how to deal with different types of people and how to deal with order.

Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.
