 But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older. |
| I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn't do that. I am the only one that has to do that. |
| I guess people think the taller you are the more dominant you have to be. |
| I have never been a shooter. |
| I started out as a young Ninja and killed all of the Shoguns. I am a Shogun now and I'm holding my spot. There probably won't be another Shogun after this. |
| And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business. |
| That is why one day I said my game will be like the Pythagorean Theorem - hard to figure out. A lot of people really don't know the Pythagorean Theory. They don't make them like me anymore. They don't want to make them like that anymore. |
| I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok. |
| I would like to be refered to as 'The Big Aristotle'. |
| This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain. |
| I am the number one Ninja and I have killed all the Shoguns in front of me. |
| Me shooting 40% at the foul line is just God's way to say nobody's perfect. |
| I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing. |
| But, hey I did everything the right way and earned my spot in this game, nothing was given to me. |
| Why don't you bring your face up here and let me punch it? Then you can tell me (if I'm stronger). |
| I'm very excited about my new agreement with the Heat. This contract allows me to address all of my family's long-term financial goals while allowing the Heat the ability to acquire those players that we need to win a championship. |
| I 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. |
| Being here feels like I'm out of prison. This is the right place, the right time, the right team. |
| One lucky shot deserves another. |
| We're just going to come out and play. We know that we're supposed to win all the games, but if we don't, we just have to take the next game and focus on what we did wrong in the game before and just try to do better at the next game. |
