I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
Of course you're surprised after the season we had, a heartbeat away from the finals. But you know, Pat Riley seemed to change. He seemed to change from the year before when we were excited about our young team, and it did us good ? so I'm sure this will do us good also.
No question, this is one of the best games we've played thus far this year, especially playing against a team that's been playing exceptionally well of late. We would like to see more of this. And I think we're getting there.
No question, my game is like A.I.'s, and I'm just a taller version of him. I respect him for what he does on the court every night, and he is somebody I looked up to when I was in college and high school.
No question at all. They're exactly the same.
After the Boston game is when he turned into that Shaq mode.
The one thing I love about my signature performance shoe is that it's great on the court, but it also looks good with a pair of jeans.
Every time we play them, it's a rough game.
Every time we got it close, they just seemed to make the play. That is what good teams are supposed to do at home.
This is a dream come true, to have a brand built somewhat around you. I love that. We don't have a lot of guys, but I think we all look at it as opportunity. It's a very big step for me and my career.
They're the best team in the NBA right now.
They really wanted it tonight and it showed. I don't think our team was as focused as we should have been, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
You probably make about two out of every 10 or 12. That's why it's so satisfying when you make one.
Once you wear something you're comfortable with and you play well, you're going to do it again. I needed a different look personally. Then once I wore it, I liked it. Now I've got Shaq wearing it.
