SPORTS ILLUSTRATED INTERVIEW - PREVIEW #1

"How do I get open? I don't know. I've been playin' this game for eighteen years now, and I have no idea how I get open. I'm an athlete. It's my job to do things, not to understand things. If you want somebody who understands things, hire a scientist. Or a librarian. Hire a mechanical engineer for all I care. But I never seen no mechanical engineer get open the way I can. If you ask me, mechanical engineers are ruinin' the game. And that's sayin' a lot, because I don't even know what a mechanical engineer do. Plus I got this new rap song comin' out with Shaq."
