I was a medium-level juvenile delinquent, class clown. And she would just say, 'Shaquille, that's not nice.' She was great to me.
Right now sometimes we're doing it, sometimes we're not. We just have to develop some consistency.
I think he's the true definition of a great player and you guys should recognize that. I think the recognition of a great player has been lost the last 10, 15 years.
My comments were made out of frustration in the heat of the moment. But I realize that my choice of words was inappropriate and again, I would like to apologize.
When we keep fighting, we're a hard team to beat. Now we just have to take that and bottle it up.
I love race car drivers, I love gymnastics, I love UFC, I love police officers, I love firefighters. I just try to give them the same enjoyment they give me.
We live in an impatient world. Everybody is always looking for the next big Kobe, the next big LeBron, the next big Twitter.
We have a new leader, and we just have to go out and get the job done.
I'm always ready for a change. I'm Irish. I'm a leprechaun.
It matters in a fatherly way.
For this incident, I don't want to be credited as an individual who does police work. I want to be credited as a Miami Beach police officer.
I feel we made too many mistakes, especially down the stretch. We gave too many of their shooters open looks.
I got into foul trouble early and never got into the flow of the game. The foul trouble is very frustrating, and I knew when I saw (referee) Bob Delaney I was going to be in trouble anyway. We did still have chances to win the game; we just made mistakes you can't make in this building.
Whenever I see a celebrity that comes to watch me play, I'm going to do for them the same thing they've done for me - bring them some type of joy.
