Over my career, I’ve had to adjust my game.
I’ve been successful in different areas, but nothing brings a smile to my face more than my oldest son, Zaire, and my second son, Zion, saying the kind word of ‘Dad.’
My job, my whole life, I’ve always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don’t know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.
I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, ‘What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?’
I’ve decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.
A Tom Ford three-piece makes you feel so confident, it’s bananas.
I grew up in Chicago, and I understand what Michael Jordan symbolizes.
Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.
You play a certain way for so long, and change is good. So I look forward to change, and I look forward to playing with the proper talent that we were able to put together.
Yes, it’s true – I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body – almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits.
I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don’t know their rights.
I’m just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I’m getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.
I always remind my kids that hard work pays off. They see that I take nothing for granted in life. It helps them stay grounded.
I’m always telling my kids to be themselves and let their personalities show in other ways than with their mouths.
With the way I dress, I think my personality shows, so I don’t always have to talk. Someone can see what I’m wearing, see what socks I’m wearing, and see what my vibe is, what kind of person I am.
If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don’t like, we make comments on it, too. That’s just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don’t really compete in that space.
When I come home, I’m not a basketball player, but “dad”. While everyone sees me as an NBA player, to my boys, I’m just “dad” and that’s very important.
I’ve always cared about my personal style and the way people perceive me. I know a lot of times people don’t get the opportunity to talk to me, so they’re just going to see what I wear, see how I’m dressed, see how I present myself.
When I’m designing I try to think about what I like to see on other people.
There is only a relationship between music and sports because all athletes want to be rappers and all rappers want to be athletes.
Places you go in life – it opens your eyes up and you kind of understand who you are.
