- I'm like, What if I push the collection
right there? Like it's a little double meaning,
you know what I'm saying? Like, why,
what else, why would she be looking right there?
Because it says Collection, duh.
My mind's not in the gutter, she's just reading that.
Hey GQ, I'm back again.
You got Iman and these are my 10 essential items.
[Upbeat music]
They don't sell these, but then
getting a certain amount of singles
at a certain spot you get your singles
brought in a book bag like this.
I don't know why it was so blown away
that it was like, you get a book bag.
Like, I just felt like part of a club.
Nobody really knows what it is unless they know
you know what I'm saying?
And it's like, as you should
it's actually starting to come apart.
I've been over packing it.
I'm gonna have to get some stitching added.
It's the sentimental value.
It's a great bag. It's a nice little
staple on the culture.
I gotta plead the fifth, man. I can't,
I can only speak on, on what I was doing.
It's crazy, I used to like clown my dad
for like walking around with like all these keys
in his pocket and his pants hanging off.
And I used to be basically telling him like
that's like messing up his look.
I feel like as I walk around, like my pop,
like yeah I knew he was gonna get right, man.
I got RV keys on here boy,
I got sprinter key on here.
You know, old school gotta have a different
a different key for everything.
I got a door key, a truck key,
glove box key, got my McLaren key on here.
That's pretty cool. That is not a Nike sign.
That was my gift to myself for my playoff owners.
And I just feel like it's just like a nice little
masculine move to just, you know
why you got all those keys?
Don't worry about it.
My two best friends from college used to be on
my case about chap stick because
I never remember to have it but
I'm always in need of it cause
they said I'm always talking.
I all the time end up needing chap stick after while.
And they be like, yo, your lips are too big
to be out here chapped or chasing it
or keep trying to lick it and you
no say like get you some chap stick.
I've tried more chap stick brands
than probably anybody ever.
And I'm gonna lose 'them or I'm not going to have
it with me or I'll leave it at the house.
I don't know why.
So these shoes are great to me.
Big on gray every day, I like to wear something gray.
This shoe is like
already made for worn.
So it's like, you already put it on
it doesn't have to feel like I gotta keep
these clean, like I could be comfortable.
I could have a good time in them.
What makes these shoes cool?
The actual model John Geiger got
sued by Nike
and fighting that case,
I just think it's cool that this is a dude that I
I met and me and him was talking
about shoes and me him and my brother
was like drawing sneakers on napkins
talking about clothes and how stuff's supposed
to be worn and all this other stuff.
And to now say
because he morphed something that we've seen
everybody morph for air force one
into their thing but it's more paying
your respect than it is biting for
him to make enough noise for them
to actually attack him.
I was like, now that's cool.
Yeah, ball. Yeah. Let's do these air pods.
[sighs]
I need them.
I hate them!
Because they have ruined me to where
I need them, but I'll use them.
The rain gets on them now one don't work.
People can't hear me as I'm talking to them now
but I could hear them and
now I take it to the store but you were
supposed to have an appointment.
I hate your guts.
I hate your guts, but I love them.
I'm a headphones person like if
I got my headphones I can hear
the song I want to hear.
It's crazy. You know what? My playlist has grown.
My guys got me listening to Babyface Ray,
P and G Nuk.
Always Durk, Herb. I'm still going to
dabble with J Cole, Kendrick y'all
know everybody be like, man, he too conscious.
I don't know, I be needing, it'd be on time for me, man.
He be on time.
It's cool to have this big plate of music, Future.
Like I, I really liked his album
but I like this whole creative
like of course you would have that album cover.
Of course.
You know what I'm saying?
That just ain't no, no, just any jeans brother.
One of the first things I ever like put together
for Centerpiece,
Centerpiece is the clothing line
that I put together.
I have these moments where I like
complain about stuff. Right?
Like I feel like we all do,
why they make these Ugh, why they make these jeans?
Like why did they fit like this?
And I catch myself doing it so much
that I'm just like, gee I should just make the jeans.
I had the little belt loop right here
because I was tying a bandana around my pants sometimes.
Cause I didn't like the gather of them.
So I would tie them in places where I like, I
that pants look stupid right there.
They should gravel up right there.
But they don't. So I'm a tie bandana
right there and let it so it fall a certain way.
And then I was like, what if I just put
like a belt loop there to where you can adjust?
And then this, this is just like
another little gem for you guys.
The key to life
in your pockets.
And then this says Finesse
finesse is just being able to make
something outta nothing and make things happen.
Cause now I'm a dad.
When you a dad, bruh, you need a
solid pair of these bruh.
Since I was a kid
I don't know what it is with Rice Krispies.
That gets me going.
I really enjoy a Rice Krispie Treat.
Every time I get one, I feel like
I'm in my auntie's Benz.
She only rode Mercedes Benz.
That was her thing.
Me asking, can I get one? And her
being like, every time I ask, she be like
I already know you getting one, like stop.
Like you gotta savor one when you get one,
to you can't just, people don't like that
I nibble on it, but I like to enjoy
what's going on. You know what I'm saying?
I can appreciate the story.
And this is because yeah, afterwards when I eat
candy and stuff, I just have to floss
because I be feeling like,
otherwise my teeth gonna fall out.
I don't know. It's weird. It's the kid
thing right after candy, I start flossing.
Flossin'
This is my actual wedding band.
But due to basketball,
I messed my ring finger up
which it's actually
honestly I I'm coming a long way.
It was more like this one,
cause this one's starting, it's turned
a little bit, so it's messed up.
Knuckle being big like that. I can't get this one on.
And the type that it is, they can't cut it open.
I wear it on my right hand.
That really mean I'm taking them.
This is a script for "The Chi"
filming season five was awesome.
All my castmates were incredible.
Kudos to Hannah.
She plays TIFF on the show.
She's a Chicago kid. She's super down to earth.
She could see me sitting there
trying to process everything. I'm like,
bro, y'all got so many cameras.
It's so many people on set.
What are we doing?
Like, oh my God
everybody's usually sitting so much
further away from me. I'm not used to
y'all being so close. You guys just whoa, it's a lot.
Thank you to Hannah, to Lena Waithe
Man, Jacob Latimore, like y'all helping me
with doing this and encouraging me to do this.
People be like, why do you like that show so much?
Cause I'm like, that's really the crib.
That's really how it work.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like watching that show just
made me feel close to home dude
I like to do different stuff, man.
So I, I want to be able to look at my, my
my stuff and be like, I tried a little
bit of everything. I don't want to be
the basketball player that walks in and
and makes a cameo.
But you get that all the time.
When you're the ball player like cause right now
I'm like walking around to somebody
like you play basketball and then
it's like another old lady walk past
like no he "Dancing With The Stars".
Like he dancing with that's him.
He ain't no basketball player that man, he dance.
He's a dancer now.
It's like a lot of professions,
I've always been eager to see what y'all
got going on so to, to be an actor,
it'd be like, bro that'd be cool
because I can now go through a bunch
of opportunities and learn to be
a lot of different people.
Learn to find the story in my uncle.
That was a construction worker.
Cause in this movie I'm working construction.
That's a powerful thing.
Usually one of the most essential things
for everybody can't do anything in 2022
without this it's a gift and a curse though,
right now I'm sitting on
795
missed texts,
10,152
unread emails.
I have three missed FaceTimes
and two regular missed calls.
If y'all ever wonder why don't pick up this phone.
This is why I done changed my Siri
to the south African voice.
Hey Siri.
- Yeah.
- What's the weather today.
- It's currently clear and 79 degrees.
- Awesome. It'd be a good day to go to the park.
Is there some parks nearby?
- I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that, could you
- Siri now you're making me mad.
you cost too much money not to understand.
It's crazy, I need my headphones now.
She can't hear and you can't understand me now.
My accent too much.

Magic City bag
