if you look at my skin bam bam it's just popping and glowing all because of my shea butter baby shea butter baby what's up gq this your boy d how and here are my 10 essentials that i need every day to get my day popping i always like to smell good i always want to leave a good scent when i leave people like man you smell good i use it for all occasions even when i'm playing basketball so before the game i actually take about three sprays and put it on said i've had referees and other players come to me and say hey man what you got on man you smell good i didn't tell them my secret but i guess now the secret is out it's the cologne out of these four this is the original this is the one that kind of started everything the baccarat the original oh my god it's so horus oh i can't describe it it's just heaven i'm in heaven i'm in heaven that's what it smells like when i spray this cologne i mean i feel like i'm in heaven gotta bring the vibes i love having speakers around i have at least 25 to 30 speakers at my house people try to hop on the bluetooth but i think i'm one of the greatest djs in the world i basically have a playlist for any time during the day if it's a big crowd of people i want to get the vibes up you know i have certain music that i play if i'm at home chilling and i want to spend i'm spending time with my children i have certain music that i play this speaker is one of the loudest speakers that i've had it isn't that big compared to most of the speakers that i have but it brings the noise i call it the thunderbox and we actually bring this to the games and my teammates call me this is crazy they call me radio right here our mc tight shirt so if you ever see me with a tight shirt and a radio you know what time it is we get loud we get proud and we having a good time i have different types of sages that i use i have sage with rosemary dragon's blood sage and then i have my chakra sage so anytime i'm on the road even when i'm at home are we going to a new building i always take my sage and i would sage myself during the playoffs in the bubble i actually saged a whole floor ever before every game you know so i would wake up while my teammates would sleep then i would go down the whole hallway and i was staged every one of my team mates room doors so when they come out the room they'll smell the sage and they already knew that dwight had been through here already actually when i got back here on the team with the lakers and last year they allowed me to save the whole practice facility so i actually went around staged every place i saved all the security guard offices every person that works in the lakers organization on the business side the team side on the court took me about three hours it was a lot of fun but it was a lot of work i was exhausted after that the fire alarm kind of went off my bible take this everywhere i go it's a lot of things in here that i'll try to use to implement in my daily life for a lot of people including myself at times it was very difficult to read one of my uh doctors we called him a sensei he taught me how to read this book so i take it everywhere i go no matter where i'm at and i get downloads from the spirit i love lotions if you look at my skin bam bam it's just popping and glowing all because of my shea butter baby shea butter baby i love to smell good but i also like to put good things on my skin so this is shea butter and it is scented shea butter this one is called money on the street the place is called aroma paradise i went there one time i was like man this stuff smells really good i started getting it my teammates started liking it so i became the lotion guy for the team so if you ever need some good lotion some good smell good i got you i love crystals they bring good energy here we have the rose quartz crystal which is one of my favorites and what pink represents uh with the crystals is love and giving generosity and i have different pieces of crystals that i actually put in my locker i also have a crystal roller i have a roller that i would use and i would take the roller and i'll roll my jersey with it i'll roll my skin with it when i get to the court i feel very vibrant i feel energized and i'm always smiling and cheesing on the court so as you can tell the love quartz is really worked out so yeah it's a good piece right here it's pretty heavy so if you ever need to get hit in the head with some love come see me i got a big crystal for you and i'll hit you over the head with it and hopefully after that you'll start loving some people and get some love coming back to you crystals the sound ball one day i was at a crystal store and i was intrigued by someone playing with the bowl and i tried it myself and when i finished i felt really clear in my head my whole body felt centered if you want to get your shockers in order get you a little bowl it doesn't have to be this big i'm just a big old guy so i like big bowls would you like me to play for you guys so usually i might hit it a couple times and then i would just go around i also take my cereal during the night time when i'm really hungry i put it inside here and i'm just kidding candles are always going throughout my house whether they're small candles whether they're three foot candles whether they have a deep tub candles i love candles even i'm on the road i take my candles with me i take my candles in the locker room take my candles to the movie sometime one of my favorite scents is the strawberry pound cake when i haven't eaten it all day and i know i can't have those desserts because i got to stay in shape for this championship we're getting this is my way of having my cheat meal and when i light this baby up i feel like i just had a whole cake it smells good make you want to eat the candle i'm telling no lies get you some candles gum and mints you shouldn't be talking to nobody with your breath smelling like the morning like you just woke up now the one thing about gum i try not to chew a lot of it because it makes your stomach feel as though you're about to eat so your stomach starts to get ready for that process of wanting to digest the food like that and people feel extra hungry when they chew gum so that's why i have mentos these little mitts they strong it says 30 minutes but they really last for about a good hour bad breath could be a game time strategy but not me that's not my strategy i want my breath smelling good i want my clothes smelling good i don't want nothing about me to be staying even my gas my xbox when i want to play 2k or mortal kombat this is what i bring on the road with me i will not leave my house without my xbox not a big gamer like that where i'll sit and play for nine hours but i do love watching movies or i watch one of my favorite shows which is game of thrones all 10 seasons i've seen it at least 10 times or more and they're pretty long so that tells you how much i really love games of thrones it's just something about something about it i can't get over it the last season kind of pissed me off of game of thrones i was really upset with how it ended i thought that the the ice people were a lot stronger and that they was going to do more damage they got killed so easy somebody snuck up and stabbed the main person and then everyone died and i was like what y'all did all this for this start my day no matter what i'm doing with some fruit it's like the number one thing that's in my refrigerator right now grapes oranges apples nectarines i also grow fruit at my house i grow blueberries blackberries oranges well i don't know if you consider fig or fruit but yes figs if i was lost on the island i wouldn't have to go get anything but some fruit and i'll better survive my favorite fruit that is tough i know my daughter's favorite fruit is a tomato so people might not know that tomatoes and fruits i used to like grape slices so i would take my grapes they're already small but i would slice them up put them in a refrigerator and i would have cold sliced grapes they're pretty good thank you gq sports for letting me come on and show everybody my top 10 essentials and come on watch the lakers get this parade this year y'all

Wow so that’s why AD got in a fight him. He grabbed him and screamed “Man tell me how you smell so good!” It’s the cologne baby

[u/ShadowLord561]

Kyrie salivating over the sage

[u/gustriandos]

crystals were the free space on Dwight Bingo

[u/BasketballMoomin]

He's a charming dude..,I don't get the hate

[u/uber_troll]

Are condoms part of the list now?

[u/mmmmm_pi]

This is exactly what I expected from Dwight.

As for whether a fig is a fruit, eh. It's technically a flower, but if it looks like a fruit, tastes like a fruit, and is sold in the fruit section of the store, then I consider it a fruit.

[u/thelamb710]

Is one of them candy still?

[u/partyA119long]

I thought it was “10 things in dwights bag” at first so when he pulled out the crystals I was like damn big bag, and then when he pulled out the sound bowl I was like ain’t no way that all fits

[u/don_sook]

He should crystal roller the refs before every game cuz he's fouling like a motherfucker
