Amar’e Stoudemire

To be a great player or a good player in the NBA, I have to work on my perimeter game.

I try to celebrate all the holidays that the Scriptures talk about.

You've got to have the right attire for the right event. I attend a lot of dinners, a lot of concerts, and I have to be on the red carpet; each has its own dress code, and I have to be prepared. Jeans and a hoodie are great for a concert, but a dinner party?

You can tailor garments all you want, but if it doesn't fit in the arms or legs, it never will.

A woman's outfit says a lot about her.

My father used to always give me a basketball, a skate board, and a bike every Christmas. That's all I wanted every year.

Of course New York is the Mecca of style in America, but don't knock Phoenix — it's not as big, but there are lots of people with style there.

Just going to Africa is amazing; it all comes back to the motherland. It's pretty much where everything started.

I think swagger's a confidence. It's a confidence of you knowing that you work hard for your success. A lot of times, you can't develop swagger if you haven't worked hard to succeed.

I went from just a regular nappy-headed kid in poverty to Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks captain superstar. But there's a lot in between that allowed me to get from point A to point B.

Swag is something that I've had for a long time.

Be yourself. Don't try too hard — it shows.

If you've got style, you'll show it, no matter the city.
