I was the first athlete, from a training standpoint, with Adidas to have their own signature shoe.
I don't want my own shoe. That is something I have never wanted. If anybody is pitching that, I would say no. I feel like that is the only thing that limits me, being a signature athlete, because you have to wear your signature shoe all of the time. I don't want no parts of that.
I'm just overwhelmed with the fact that I had a signature shoe. It's actually 'my shoe.'
I have a pair of my signature shoes, and I can't believe I got my own shoe. That's amazing!
That whole era of Chris Webber with Nike was, to me, the golden era. Everybody was getting their own signature shoe.
The people you looked up to growing up, every great player has a signature shoe. That's why I wanted one. I want to walk around and see people wearing my shoe.
Our priorities require that all children of Palestine, men and women, be ready for conflict, both from the standpoint of training and from the standpoint of armament.
Without training, I'm nothing. If I'm not training, I'm done. Any athlete, they have to train and they have to practice to win games. For sure. One hundred percent. You have to be training.
Did I have a signature shoe? Have you ever heard of huaraches?
I mean, I grew up an athlete training and training and training. So I kind of have that mentality.
I think 'GoodFellas' is just a perfect film. From an efficiency of storytelling standpoint, from an entertainment standpoint, from a performance standpoint, from a use of music standpoint, from a cinematography and editing standpoint - to me, it's just a perfect movie.
For me, to just have my own shoe is unbelievable. As a kid, you see Jordans and wonder what that feels like to have your own shoe, and the fact that I have one is really surreal.
When I was young, I wanted to be like the rappers. I remember being in junior high and wanting a fisherman hat and a link because EPMD had one. I wanted to wear Adidas because Run-DMC wore Adidas. As I came into my own, I just wanted to do me.
When Reebok first let me try out the Nano 10, I thought this was about as close to the perfect training shoe as you can get.
Every athlete has training they enjoy and training that they do because they have to and they don't enjoy so much. Do the training you love, remind yourself why you do it and hopefully it'll all come good for you.
Nike is obviously more sporty than Adidas. I always associate Adidas with Beastie Boys and Run-DMC.
You can do as much training, the hardest training, and you might get there and not perform how you wanted, not because of lack of training but maybe the pressure you are putting on yourself. That's a major part of being a resilient athlete - it's not just physical, it's mental.
