Shaquille O'Neal Media Quotations

For all my friends in the media who like quotes, mark this quote down. From this day on I'd like to be known as 'The Big Aristotle' because Aristotle once said, 'Excellence is not a singular act; it's a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.'

We're going to miss Damon. He was a great shooter. . . . He got what he wanted, but he gave up a lot. No more night life, no more warm weather and no more a lot of media attention. . . . I guess this was his first shot at getting something big. I guess he had to take it.

That's sort of a trick question, and I don't have a trick answer. Next question, please. You're not going to get me with that question today, buddy...I'm a veteran at this, buddy. Can't get that with me, buddy. Not today.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, bet you can't type that.

There will be a report coming out, and my name will be on it.

I think it would be a boring game if everybody was the same, just like it would be boring if you guys asked the same dumb questions.

Enunciation, diction, all that stuff. None of that is in my personality.

I'm still here. I'm a force to be reckoned with... you have to come take my spot, and not through Twitter and not through the media, come take my spot. I'm ready to go. As big men in the league, there are two who have done something special during this millennium. I'm one and Tim Duncan is the other. Anyone else has to come upstairs and see the Shogun. I'm still the Shogun.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You all should be spanked for this.

First person who says that to my face, I'll punch you!

We want stuff done right. As long as it's my team, I'll voice my opinion. Yep, it's my team. You media guys might give it to him, like you've given him everything else his whole lifetime, but this is the Diesel's ship. And if we're not right, I'm going to go out there and try to get it right... Just ask Karl and Garywhy they wanted to come here. It was because of one person, not two. One.

I look forward to making Miami a media mecca.

Obviously, Sam is the type of guy that hides behind his pen and pad. I promise you he wouldn't say that to my face in a dark alley where it's just me and him and no witnesses.

That was a foul, young lady. You know that was a foul. Don't ask dumb questions.

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

Well, Doctor, I don't have the diagnosis on that. I'll be sure to do a physical checkup and get back to you.

It was a shock to me. I found out when (the media) found out. I didn't know what was going on. Stan came in and talked to us and told us his reason for stepping down and we have to accept that.
