Michael Beasley on playing Dwight Howard in the season opener of The Big 3 tomorrow:
"Y'all keep giving me the biggest stripper first so I'm gonna make him shake ass... I tried to serenade him with some Beyoncé but he didn’t like that

Draymond Green says basketball is no longer a poor kid's game: “It's a rich kid's game”
“I didn't learn how to do a proper individual workout till I got to college. Growing up I'm going to hoop. Where's the nearest run. Drop me off, I'll play all day. That's what we did. We hooped all day. I think there's a huge benefit to that because you just learn to see the game”
“It's different when somebody just putting you in a position to tell you to do this move. How do you use your creativity? How do you learn if somebody just say do this? How do you know what your game is if you never tap into it and just figure it out”
“I think there's a time and place for a trainer and I think with where the game has gone, you need those resources in order to be successful”
“I feel like basketball used to be a poor man's game. Poor kids played it. We were poor. We had nothing and it was our way out. Basketball is not a poor kid's game no more. Basketball is a rich kid game”
“The days of seeing LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from a single mom, those days are numbered. Because if you don't have the resources these days, you can't make it. But that’s also why you don't see as great basketball as you did before, because there's no imagination”
“Everybody's doing the same thing, playing the same way. I think a lot of that is due sometimes to having trainers. You just become a carbon copy of somebody else the trainer created”
Shaquille O'Neal reveals he made a mistake, leading to a divorce and was lonely in his 76,000 square foot house.
"Look, I was just being greedy. I had the perfect situation."
"My wife was finer than a mug, kept giving me babies, still finer than a mug. I had it all, just sometimes you.. and I don't make excuses, I know I messed up and then you know when I didn't have that... I don't like to use the d word because I don't really know what it is but I was lost."
"Seventy Six thousand square foot house by yourself. Lost."
"No kids, you go to the gym, nobody's playing in the gym. You go to their room, nobody's there."
"You start to feel it you know but I said to myself ok, you're not married but you still have to protect and provide for this family. Get your ass up, man up, let's go. What you gonna do next cause you know you may not be a husband, but I'm always be a father and the father's job is to protect, provide and love."
