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.

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'm conscious about what I wear, whether it's a game or an event.

I would love [to learn more about fashion] - anything that's going to help me put certain looks together.

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.

Tyson [Chandler] encouraged me and was like, if that's what you want to wear, wear that.

I would have people send me shoes and I had 40 pairs and none would fit in the dorm room. People would come by and be like, "Yo, I've been looking for these shoes." I was like, "I'll sell them to you for $300 right now." I'd sell them, save up $4,000 to $5,000, go to the mall and just buy a bunch of new stuff.
