Being from Africa is the best thing that could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me.

I always keep a ball in the car. You never know.

The most important thing in a person's life is his faith and how he translates his faith into practical deeds.

I love fashion as much as I love basketball! It is a great joy for me to express myself through designing my own collection.

I remember at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Shaq always wanted me to show him steps over and over.

When people start comparing him with (Michael) Jordan then that's not a fair comparison. Jordan was a far more superior player in a very tough league, he was very creative. That's not taking away anything from LeBron because he is a great player, but it is not a fair comparison because Jordan is a far superior player.

The key to fashion is, you don't want to look like you're trying. You've gotta be natural.
