I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.
As long as you put on a jersey, no matter what kind of jersey it is, as long as you’re supporting the game of basketball, I enjoy it.
Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old.
The biggest thing is to make sure that when something comes out about you that is false that you prove it’s not true.
A turtleneck is about sophistication.
Players are ready to play, We’re not on strike. It’s a lockout.
I’ve played for the Miami Heat my whole career under Pat Riley. Mr. GQ himself. So when I pick out my outfits before a game, I’m already feeling confident. And some of that swagger stays with me when I take the court.
You know, 10 years ago I never thought I’d be in this position. It’s a dream and I don’t even know if I dreamed this big.
I understand that I’m not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that’s happened to me, good and bad.
I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.
Whenever there is a big game and people don’t think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
I’m an athlete, so I can dress down with the best of them. I can throw on t-shirts and sweats with the best of them.

Most days I am in public. If I go to the store, with social media, I’m in public. It might as well be a press conference.
For home games, I bring my clothes to the arena. I bring two different outfits that I can pick after the game. Road game, I got to wear what I walk in with.
I grew up in the inner city of Chicago, and then I moved to Robbins, and it kind of raised me. When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say ‘from Robbins, Illinois’ instead of ‘Chicago, Illinois.’
When I got my first check I was thinking my mother and father didn’t make this probably in their lifetime. It’s real amazing that some of us are just blessed.
Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive. Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it’s going through consistently, it’s demoralizing for any opponent.
I’m on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don’t bring my A game, they’re going to outshine me.
People don’t need to necessarily see me in the jersey to understand who I am and what message I’m trying to get across with the things that I’m marketing.
