“Unless you sit down and talk to your dad and say, ‘Why weren’t you there?’ and he says, ‘I’m going to really tell you the truth,’ then you won’t know.”

To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can’t pull it off.

Players are ready to play, We’re not on strike. It’s a lockout.

Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.

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.

The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game.

I think about my sons and the legacy I have to leave for them – and it always brings me back to reality.

When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don’t care.

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive.

I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is to not really worry what people will say or think about what you wear.

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’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.

Over my career, I’ve had to adjust my game.

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.

I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.

Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.

One day that same year, I told my dad that someday, I would sail around the world alone.

I’m one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.

My dad was so much fun growing up.

I think I discovered my first, you know, my first image of a naked woman was sort of sneaking a peek at one of those magazines that was in my dad’s store.

I always tell people that my primary job is being a dad and husband. Music is just what pays the bills.

I get on fine with my mum and dad, but if they want to see the grandchildren, they come to me.

My hometown is 30,000 people. It’s remote, but it’s an oil town, so it’s developed. There’s definitely a mill mentality: not a lot of people leave. It’s a lot of long hours, shift work. Even my Dad, who’s a dentist worked hard, because that’s what people do up there.

My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.
