“I’m scared of needles.”

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.

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.

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.
