I don't think the world focuses on the positive things enough.Collection: Positive
Fatherhood is the best thing that could happen to me, and I'm just glad I can share my voice.Collection: Fathers
I've been successful in different areas, but nothing brings a smile to my face more than my oldest son, Zaire, and my second son, Zion, saying the kind word of 'Dad.'Collection: Smile
At 9 years old, I moved in with my father because my mother could no longer care for me. Looking back, I now see so many similarities between my own childhood and that of my sons. My father stepped in when I needed him, and that gave me the chance for a better life. That's what I'm doing for my boys now.Collection: Chance
It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we're in a position where you call somebody and they're willing to pick up and take the call because they're a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.Collection: Chance
The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.Collection: Positive
Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.
I understand that I'm not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that's happened to me, good and bad.
No team works out teamwork.
The biggest thing is to let your voice be heard, let your story be heard.
I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.
I've been blessed to be one of those guys who's looked at as a fashion-forward type of guy.
As long as you put on a jersey, no matter what kind of jersey it is, as long as you're supporting the game of basketball, I enjoy it.
When you're healthy, you can do so many great things.
I'm on a team with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and they both dress well. It gets competitive. If I don't bring my A game, they're going to outshine me.
I'm scared of needles.
Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
I'm a playmaker, and I'm going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.
My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.
The Miami Heat floor is great, but a lot of them are not.
The biggest thing is to make sure that when something comes out about you that is false that you prove it's not true.
Over my career, I've had to adjust my game.
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.
A turtleneck is about sophistication.
Yes, it's true - I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body - almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits.
I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.
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.
You know, 10 years ago I never thought I'd be in this position. It's a dream and I don't even know if I dreamed this big.
It's always a dream to be on the cover, it's one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.
Before even Court Grip, I just wanted to be a part of a brand that I felt that listened to the athlete and really catered to the athlete, and gave us what we were looking for.
Players are ready to play, We're not on strike. It's a lockout.
The biggest thing, and what I told some of the partners in the summit, was me thanking them for their constant support with everything that I've been through the last couple years on and off the court.
People don't need to necessarily see me in the jersey to understand who I am and what message I'm trying to get across with the things that I'm marketing.
You play a certain way for so long, and change is good. So I look forward to change, and I look forward to playing with the proper talent that we were able to put together.
I am very happy to be here in the NBA.
The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game. In the NBA you could lose tonight and you have to put that game behind you because you have another game the next night.
I've decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.
When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don't care.
I've played for the Miami Heat my whole career under Pat Riley. Mr. GQ himself. So when I pick out my outfits before a game, I'm already feeling confident. And some of that swagger stays with me when I take the court.
Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'
I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.
Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn't matter if it's a jumper or a drive. Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it's going through consistently, it's demoralizing for any opponent.
All children need their fathers, but boys especially need fathers to teach them how to be men.
I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.
My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.
Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it's unbelievable. It never gets old.
Whenever I feel like I'm getting too far away from where I need to be, I think about my sons and the legacy I have to leave for them - and it always brings me back to reality.
When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don't change no matter what's going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be.
