I was kind of weak. |
I was looking forward to going to the line 30 or 40 times. |
I was normal. ... I was an earthling last season, ... I had to go back to my alien roots. |
I was running the court very well, getting the ball and making the aggressive move. I'm still missing two or three jump hooks that I don't usually miss. I'll get it back. |
I was very involved, ... I had to put on a motion-sensor suit and do all my moves — like the crazy walk after I score, all the celebratory stuff. In the game, my [skill] ratings are very high. I got all the moves — I can even step out to shoot the three. |
I went to the city and got it done and everything is legit. If they don't like it, tell them to pull the shades down, OK? |
I will gracefully bow out. But my spot will never be taken. |
I wish you all would stop asking me about it. Stop asking me what two plus two is. Everybody knows it's five. |
I would like to be refered to as 'The Big Aristotle'. |
I would like to have four or five days off -- get my engine tuned up, get my oil changed, get my tires rubbed. Whatever [Riley] wants us to do, we're going to do. |
I would say Detroit, Indiana, Cleveland, Jersey, darn near every good, solid team in the East. The Lakers, I think it's more of a TV-rating rivalry than a real rivalry. If we could both make it to the Finals a couple of years in a row, then it could be a real rivalry. |
I'll have to have a conversation with the boss, and then we'll see. |
I'm a businessman, ... I didn't want to be greedy and take all the money and try to do it myself. I realize I'm getting older. I just told them, 'I'll take $20 (million) and you take the rest of the money and you go out and get somebody. I just want to get some help to put some more years on my career and add more rings to my legacy. |
I'm confident that he'll be playing, ... But if he's not, everyone has to step up in Game 7, including me. |
I'm getting there. I've been playing well these last couple of games. |
