If you grew up watching 'Star Wars' you're like, wow, look at Darth Maul, he has that outfit. And that lightsaber. And he's jumping. When I see stuff, rarely do I forget. And that's what I always wanted to wear.
I don't want to see anyone else looking like me.That'd be my nightmare. Though if I saw someone wearing what I did, I would know he was swaggy.
I don't have a stylist. That, in a way, is cheating. Put five players in a thrift store and see who has the best style in the end, and then you'll see who has real style.
I remember watching Mike [Michael Jordan]. I remember him having a royal blue blazer and all black t-shirt and he came out of a blue Corvette. That was dope to us. We were like, 'Yo, Michael killed today.' He didn't even talk to the media and walked straight into the arena. Everyday's like Mike.
I'm conscious about what I wear, whether it's a game or an event.
Everyday has to be different for me. Even if people are like, "You dressed up like a character today, it's not Halloween."
It doesn't matter because I want to be that guy who you never know what I'm going to wear.
I was growing, so I had to scrunch my feet up. Now people are like: "Why do you have so many shoes." I jump at the fact that I can wear something new everyday.
I started dressing and people used to ask, "Where do you get all that stuff?" I was going to thrift stores with my best friend Bianca Stewart.
I threw all my clothes away from high school.
I was like, you know, if you want to be someone big, you have to dress the part.
When I got to college I finally got a job.
My mother worked in fashion design and she used to show me all of these looks. She tried to get me to wear fitted jeans in high school. This is when big jeans were popping.
No one else on the team in college was dressing up. They were wearing sweats.
I want a woman to walk past and say, "I would love to be in a picture with him."
But the judge would have to be people in the fashion world and a bunch of random girls. Because guys in the league aren't trying to impress guys in the league. They're trying to impress people who have clout in the fashion world and women.
Sometimes you give a person everything. You give them all of you. You give them everything you got, and they just don't want it, or that ain't your match. So now the next person, maybe that's really something special, but you not even acting like yourself.
The difference between me and other athletes is that I'm speaking on things that I go through that I know other people go through. I think a lot of times the mistake in music if you're broke, rap about being broke, if you're sensitive, rap about being sensitive, 'cause there are other sensitive people. If you're sensitive but you talk about being a tough person that doesn't care about anything, people will call your bluff.
It's hard to want to let somebody into your house.
I mean, shout out to the people that get dressed everyday and want to take that picture everyday. I would much rather post pictures of [my girlfriend] than of myself.
I would love [to learn more about fashion] - anything that's going to help me put certain looks together.
I'll show up at Fashion Week with a mink on with a lion head biting my shoulder. I would love that. Oh my God, with a jaguar tail on my shoes. Something crazy.
I'm not trying to plant the seed that I'm the most fashionable NBA guy - of course, I think that in my own mind.
I don't feel like you should promote personally that you dress nicely.
I live a real life so I forget to take pictures.
