I want to be strong, dominant. Like Wilt Chamberlain.

Anyone can win a slam-dunk contest. The real Superman is dead. He was assassinated by Pat Riley. I'm the Big Cactus now and ready to roll again.

The Miami Heat has the best fans.

I don't see anybody, in any conference, that can shut me down. Any conference, anywhere in the world.

I just want to say, 'Nice job,' but now let the professional take over. There can only be one me. Uno más me.

The Big Cactus. I will stick you.

My father made me who I am. He gave me a basketball and told me to play with the ball, sleep with the ball, dream with the ball. Just don't take it to school. I used it as a pillow, and it never gave me a stiff neck.

I'm just getting better and better. It's just like a bunch of worker bees protecting the king bee, because I'm not a queen bee. I'm a king bee.

I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.
