I had an unbelievable opportunity here to try and follow in similar footsteps [of Michael Jordan], but in a different capacity hopefully. I took that opportunity and I'm excited about it.

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.

My belief is stronger than your doubt.

Chicago is a beautiful city. It's one of those places that people around the world see and say, 'Maybe one day.' There's so much excitement in the city about what you can accomplish and what you can be. We get this stigma, and rightfully so, because of the killings, but it's one of the best cities in the world. I'm biased, but I think it's a great city. Not only to be from, but to go to.

I've learned great lessons from my parents for things on the court and off. I really look up to them.

I'm happy that I can focus on my body a little bit. I'm not happy to get surgery, but I'm happy that I can focus on getting better.

When I'm designing I try to think about what I like to see on other people.
