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.
I respect the older guys.
I felt pretty good. I just wanted to get my guys going -- bring some energy and spirit to the lineup.
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.
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.
