“Put somebody on their (expletive) back,” O’Neal said. “Don’t let nobody oopsey-doopsey layup on you, then be laughing at you. You ever see me get dunked on? No. Because I put (expletives) on their back. Period.
“That’s what I told him. If he’s going to be a big man, be a big man. Don’t be out there (expletive) around. Lay somebody on their (expletive) back. Wilt (Chamberlain) told me that. Bill Russell told me that. Hakeem (Olajuwon) told me that. All the great big men told me that.
“You lay someone on their (expletive) back. That’s what I told him. I don’t give a (expletive) who likes it. As a big man, that’s what you’ve got to do. Can’t let people do oopsey-doopsey layups on you, laugh at you.
“Do something. Either block it or lay them on their back. Period. That’s what you’ve got to do as a big man. Don’t flop. Lay them on their (expletive) back. That’s what I was taught and that’s what I’m trying to teach him, instead of being out there like a (expletive) loose tree, blowing in the wind.”
