There are not a lot of athletes that are going to get their own shoe.

I've never asked a player if they would sign my shoe.

I remember my dad, who coached football, would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me.

I tried out for my basketball team every year and I never made it. You had to buy the shoes before you knew if you were on the team because it took a few weeks for them to ship. I bought the shoes every year, never once made the team, had a ton of high school basketball shoes.

You look at guys on the court, man. You got this guy with this brand of shoe, and this guy with this brand - they're just wearing the shoe. But it's a whole different feeling when you got a shoe on, and it's yours.

There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.

It's easier to date a football player for sure. Football players have one game a week, and they practice every day, but they're all at home. In basketball, they're on the road all the time.

I'm a sports fan. I'm not just an athlete who plays football.
