With Zion as a teammate, what were those Duke intrasquad dunk contests like?

I mean, he won every time. The funny thing is, people don’t know that I can do some of the dunks he can do. He’s a freak of nature, so it’s really unfair.

The Knicks are rebuilding. What’s the most games you’ve lost in a season?

I’m not going to lie to you, I haven’t really lost. Maybe nine or ten games in the past five years. And even when I was younger, I was always winning championships. But losing is just a way to learn. It exposes your flaws.

Michael Jordan retired, for the first time, before you were born. What are your basketball reference points?

I definitely think Michael Jordan was the greatest to ever do it. But in my era, I just loved the way LeBron could do everything. He could pass, he could score whenever he wants, he could play defense. Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of Steve Nash, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, guys that use the pick and roll and set people up.

Wait, so there was a Canadian MVP! Twice! And he’s your godfather.

Steve Nash is just so smart. He’s one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. When you talk to him, you would never know he’s a two-time MVP and a Hall of Famer.

What’s your opinion on early 2000s draft-day fashion?

Back in ’03, everybody had the same baggy suit on. Now suits are fit for the person, so everyone looks unique and different.

They all looked like huge, waddling rectangles. Who currently has the best looks for their pregame tunnel walk?

The guys that are confident and comfortable with themselves, even if it’s crazy. James Harden, he knows how to rock his stuff. Russell Westbrook, everything he wears is so out there, but it takes a certain person to do that. I like how LeBron was wearing the shorts with the suit.

Westbrook would turn that sweater you’re wearing into a poncho.

And it would be huge! He would find a way to make it look good.

What designers or brands are you into?

See, I’ve never really been into fashion. I’m just starting to learn a little bit. Obviously, you gotta go with the regulars, the Guccis and Louis Vuittons and Dolce & Gabbana. Whenever I can put a fresh, clean suit on, I’m like a peacock. That’s my most confident moment.
