• Fifty percent of life in the NBA is sex. The other fifty percent is money.

• I've been homeless. I've worked at 7-Eleven. I'm a real person, with real experiences, not some image that somebody in the NBA office created.

• When you talk about race in basketball, the whole thing is simple: a black player knows he can go out on the court and kick a white player's ass.

• How much do you really want to win when you have as much money, attention, and fame as Shaquille O'Neal does?

• I banged 50,000 chicks. And 4 dudes.

• White women get into relationships with black men because they think the sex is going to be better.

• As long as I play ball, I can get any woman I want. But there's no scoreboard in my bedroom. Wilt Chamberlain lied when he said he had 20,000 women. Wilt should open his own sperm bank.

• I can go out to a salon and have my nails painted pink, and then go out and play in the NBA, on national television, with pink nails.

• I wanted to be white because I was black, and black was never the right color.

• I see Chris Dudley, Derrick Coleman, Dale Davis, and Anthony Mason making huge money, and I see injustice. Who buys a ticket to see these guys play?

• If I die young, everybody's going to say they saw it coming.

• They're just trying to be physical, and that's not their game. They're trying to get into my head. But you have to understand, you can't mess with the master.

• I knew I would have been just another nigger if I didn't play basketball...

• The owners are right and the players are right. There is no happy medium. They should just cancel the whole season and let everybody get a real job... I'll bet they come to an agreement real quick.
  • on NBA the lockout

• The only person I'm intimidated by is my ex-wife.

• Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is ten, or something.
  • talking about the Chicago Bulls team chemistry being overrated

• Don't let what other people think decide who you are.

• I'm playing for minimum wage, after taxes that's 250 [thousand dollars]... And I got 10 charities here that I'm gonna give $10,000 to each... So basically I'm getting paid $150,000. Even with this... I'm still not going to win with you people. If you call this selfish, we got problems.

• I don't give a shit!

• T-Shirt worn by him: "I don't mind straight people as long as they act gay in public."
