Don't get me wrong - I love Jason Kidd, he's a great point guard... but what do I do with myself when I feel like I'm the best point guard? How does it compare to him? That's not important, I mean, if I always think I'm the best, then why am I sitting here comparing myself to others? …I’ll tell you this: I know for a fact that I’m the best point guard in the NBA, and I don’t need anyone else to tell me that. When I walk on the basketball court, if I think about all of you saying that, I'll go crazy. ——Stephen Marbury 2. That is something done by the lowest level player. You must not do it. That guy has homosexual tendencies. I once told him that if he touches my private parts, he will do the same. Gay! ——Francisco Elson 3. Those guys all depend on me. Nick Anderson just got a new contract. Chevis Knight also got a new contract on me. In fact, yesterday, Fei Fisher called me to thank me (Fisher had just signed with the Warriors at the time). If you put two guys on me, then I can pass the ball to Eddie, who is the best shooter in the East, or I can pass the ball to Wade, or I can put the ball on the ground and block it in front of you. Drop it! ——Shaquille O'Neal 4. That's it, I'm from Somalia and I need to eat. ——Stephen Jackson describing his passion for winning 5. You know, softball is another sport that I play besides basketball. ——LeBron James 6. All I have to say is (expletive) it, (expletive) them, (expletive) everyone, everything damn it! —Brad Miller on rumors of tension between him and Chris Webber 7. That’s what I was thinking, or I was just jumping up and down because I was dumbfounded. ——Sam Mitchell confirmed after the game that he believed the last-second shot was valid, but the shot was later canceled. 8. I don’t know what happened to that girl. ——Reggie Evans said this about Pau Gasol 9. I have never had a feast like that, not even anything similar. I don’t even drink hard liquor. I never touch such things. You just need to Just give me a meatloaf and some fried chicken. - Paul Pierce 10. I don't have to shoot from more than two feet away. I'm in the top 50 in the NBA. From where I shoot, I've got 23,000 Divided! ——When Danny Fortson challenged O'Neal, thinking that O'Neal should take more jump shots, O'Neal responded like this. 11. The new idiot in this city is ESPN.com's Chad Ford. ——Mark Cuban (Note: Chad Ford is a famous columnist for ESPN.com) 12. I don’t want to speak to him, and I haven’t voted for him before. This is just something we have to do. - When people asked what he said to President George Bush during the team's visit to the White House, Rashid responded: 13. Dampier is a softie! Use this sentence in your newspaper, mark it with key symbols, print it out, give it to him, and never ask me about this guy again! ——Shaq 14. Fans: I just want to know...have you ever blocked Shaq during practice? Wade: No, I tried that once, but Shaq told me, 'Don't ever try that again! ’ 15. I really like Alston, we’ve always gotten along well and we’ve had a lot of fun times together, but I can’t share those with you guys. ——Jalen Rose 15. Jaren Rose vs. Alston (Part 2) When (Jalen) came over, I was going to give him a kiss, but not on his lips. ——Alston 16. Do you think Vared is a volatile and unstable guy? This guy is now developing this quality to a whole new level, and he wilts as soon as the air conditioner is turned on. ——Rick Adelman 17. I don’t think Laura Frank is anything great. You heard me right——Laura Frank, not Lawrence, Laura... This is not that I blame him, I just hope He can come up with a manly tactic, don't beg and complain! When he begged and complained, that's when I changed his name to Lawrence Frank! ——Shaq (Note: Laura is a female name and Lawrence is a male name) 18. I think the type of centers you are looking for at the moment are Collier and Nowitzki. These guys can shoot the ball very well. You can't. Take away this talent from them, and I will never be a shooter, but I will always be a prolific scorer. Do you know what this* is? ——Shaq 19. When you are 60 years old, you act like a 60-year-old. Don’t act like a 20-year-old. This is what I want to say about Jerry Buss. ——Shaq 20. I want to do something within the definition of 'bandit'.
