The Source recently had a chance to catch up with Brandon Jennings, point guard of the Milwaukee Bucks. Picking his brain we got the inside scoop on his personal interests, basketball and more. Look out for Brandon Jennings spotify playlist tomorrow, you’ll enjoy a few of those jams.
Who are your favorite fashion designers?
Christian Louboutin, YSL, Alexander McQueen, and Balmain.
What’s in your Ipod?
Drake, The Weeknd, YG, Rich Hill, and a little bit of Wiz Khalifa. My playlist game is crazy, I should be a DJ, my OVOXO and ratchet music play lists are like no other.
How did you feel when you heard Monte Ellis was joining the Bucks? Many people thought you guys couldn’t co-exist, what are the strengths and/or weaknesses of sharing the backcourt?
I was excited to hear about Monte coming. He is a great player. Now I know I have another scorer on the floor where I don’t have to throw up a shot at the end of the shot clock. It takes pressure off of me on the offensive end. I don’t see any weaknesses, he is a great guy on and off the court.
What are your top two favorite movies?
Sister Act and Above the Rim
Why did you choose to sign your deal with Under Armour?
I don’t have a problem with being different. I was presented with a great opportunity, me skipping college was a new path to go down, so I figured why not go down a different path in the shoe industry also. Some people still talk about me for choosing Under Armour, but I don’t regret it not one bit.
What do you do in your spare time?
I spend time with my son, or just chill. Give me my computer, phones, music, and I’m good.
What are your thoughts on social media?
I’m kind of off twitter right now. Instagram is great, I like to keep my fans involved in different aspects of my life.
Do you have any aspirations for playing in the U.S.A Olympics?
Of course, I always dream of playing for my country.
What do you do to escape and get away from all of the madness in the world?
STAY IN MY HO– USE, and listen to The Weeknd or Drake all day and night.
What is your final game prediction for the 2012 NCAA March Madness?
Kentucky Vs. Kansas, with Kansas winning it all.
Which arena was the toughest for you to play in?
Oklahoma City or Boston
How are your soccer skills? Are you just as good with the ball at your feet as you are with your hands?
I play soccer from time to time. That was what we did for training camp when I played in Rome, Italy. The last two summers I have played in Steve Nash’s charity soccer event. But I’d have to admit, my soccer game needs a little work.
Where will you be vacationing this Summer?
Well with me you never know, I’m “ALWAYZ INTO SOMETHING”.
