“I want to show y’all probably my favorite chain. Quay got it for me my rookie year. It was like my welcome to Atlanta gift he gave me. There’s a lot of diamonds in here, I ain’t never really asked Quay what the details were. I don’t wanna get all into detail, but I was just appreciative of it.
You got the 11 at the top, got the basketball. After he posted this and made a whole chain with it, it was kinda like a no-brainer, everybody started calling me it just randomly on the street. It wasn’t even just in arenas anymore, It was everywhere. So probably my favorite piece I got.
First, I was wearing it for like, for a minute, especially around the house. I had never gotten a chain. I mean, I’m from Oklahoma. So [laughs] coming down to Atlanta, getting this. Quay definitely opened my eyes to more jewelry. I don’t bring it out too much though. I don’t bring out too much, only certain times.”
