My life is very simple. I like simplicity and for my time to be my own, so that I have the freedom to devote the majority of it to Islam.

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

I'm the kind of person who always wants more.

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.

I'm shy, but sometimes my voice is so clear and strong.

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

When I was playing, I didn't realize how much of an impact I would make on people, Muslim or non-Muslim. We played a lot of games during Ramadan. On national TV, the announcers were commenting about Ramadan, and this raised the awareness to the general public and we made all the Muslims very, very proud.
