1. “Sam is an idiot. I-D-O-U-T. Idiot.” — Shaquille O’Neal, responding to Chicago Tribune columnist Sam Smith’s suggestion that the Miami Heat should trade the big man. And now we know that Shaq takes spelling lessons from Homer J. Simpson.

11. “I can’t really remember the names of the clubs that we went to.” — Shaquille O’Neal, again, on whether he visited the Parthenon during his visit to Greece. But Shaq was pretty sure that the DJ was off the hook

Honorable Mention:
“I’ve never taken medication [to control moods] in my life. Doctors have suggested it and I say, ‘OK, give it to me.’ But I throw it in the garbage immediately.” — Ron Artest
Wow. Just, wow. And those aren't even the best ones.
 
17. “I don’t have the first clue who he is talking about, because all I worry about is Jerome.” - Jerome James, on Coach Nate McMillan’s comments about players on Seattle being selfish. Just in case you forgot, Isiah Thomas gave him a guaranteed $30 million shortly thereafter.

19. “I thought LeBron James was just going to be another addition to help me score.” — Ricky Davis. Yeah, the Cavs really blew that one, didn’t they?

“Well, he’s a good player for Minnesota.” — Gary Payton, when asked what he thought about Serbia.

Priceless. :D:D:p:p
 
How could they leave out Charles Barkley claiming he was misquoted in his own autobiography? :D
 
The Magic and Shaq quotes were jokes. I know, tell it to the judge, but it's easy to portray them as serious quotes w/o the footage. I've seen most of those quotes come out of their faces and they giggled like schoolgirls at the funnies they had made. Shaq is hardly ever serious. Yogi Berra wasn't being serious either...

Marbury was probably dead serious.

The real dumbest quote from Shaq was, "I've won at every level but college and the pros." (prior to his first NBA title). He didn't giggle afterward.
