If you have your own taste, you know what looks right and what looks good on you versus someone kind of telling you what looks good on you.
Yeah, I consider myself an unpredictable player. A player that's flashy here and there and then is maybe conservative here and there and I think when it comes to dressing, it's me figuring out that balance of when to be flashy or when to be super simple with maybe flashy shoes.
You look good. You play good. That's a true statement.
I want to be me - and people know it's me. I don't want: 'He's trying to act like Kobe' or 'His answers are like something Kobe would've said.' Nah. If it's me, I'm going to say it.
I always had the confidence. The platform, guys getting injured and giving me multiple opportunities, that has allowed me to showcase it.
It's always good to be a trendsetter.
I wasn't really a fashionable guy in high school.
It's hard to come off the bench and be ready all the time.
I can't be funny, goofy, happy go lucky all the time.
There's a lot of spoiled Lakers fans.
L.A. has so much to offer. So I want to take advantage of it.
Everyone in the league has a journey or a legacy, whether you're in the league for five years or you're in the league for one year.
Like, if you get close enough to me you'll see how I really am.
I consider myself a trendsetter.
There is a lot of extra energy with being in a Lakers uniform.
It's easy to be just a basketball player, get paid and come here to do that. But to be professional about it is different.
When you're not the Steph Currys or the Kyrie Irvings of the league, long-term promises are irrelevant.
When I was in L.A., the structure wasn't up to par as I wanted it to be.
If I have the ball in my hands, I'll make a play. If don't, I'll try to get in position to make a play. I think that's what it comes down to.
No matter what the circumstances, you always enjoy being around guys that you bond with, win, lose, whatever it may be.
