The NBA definitely has some trendsetters that stay up on the latest fashion, but I think you're starting to see guys like myself and others get some much-deserved respect in the style department.
There's no similarity between football and ballet, so this ain't ballet music being played on the field. I'm pumping something that's going to put me in a frame of mind to go to war, and something that's very high tempo and high beat.
Growing up in Atlanta, it brings a particular swagger about a person. There are three or four places in the country where people think of fashion: One is LA, obviously. Another is New York. And I think Atlanta has to be in the top five cities where fashion is very big.
The way I represent my individuality is by mixing classic pieces - like sports jackets - with little, unexpected additions.
I always keep my eye focused on what I would and want to wear.
This is what makes sports so amazing, that we can start a discussion around a table, in the newspaper, in the magazines, that will get people's attention. And that's what sports does.
Some people have certain beliefs, and I have my own belief, and we can agree to disagree on certain things.
My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games.
I just like having fun with my style and keeping it new.
Tom Brady is good, real good...but he plays in same league as I do.
I'm an example of why people deserve second chances.
A person that says, 'Losing is not difficult,' I don't even want to be around that person. And obviously, that person has never won anything relevant in their life.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm going hard.
When people see you do alright, then you start winning their hearts. It's not going to come easy, though. It doesn't matter how many people you do right, you're still going to be hated by so many others. You can't live your life trying to make everybody happy.
