What do you do with shoes after you’re done with them or after the season? [Ed note: Peep channingfrye.com/blog] Well, what I do with my shoes after the season is done is I try and keep at least two or three of my favorites for my summer workouts. Other than that, I try to sign my shoes and give them to charities or to kids who really want them. My shoes are huge, though. It’s hard to find people to give my shoes to because I wear a size 18, so for everyone who gets one they turn into huge dust collectors.
What do you do with team apparel from past teams you’ve played for? My old team stuff is definitely hot items for my friends. As bad as this sounds, they love when I get traded because then they get free reign to grab whatever they want. But regardless, trades or not, the hottest item by far that I get asked for is the NBA socks.
What is one hairstyle you’ve always wanted to change to? One hairstyle I’d love to have would be dreadlocks. I don’t get them because I don’t have the patience to grow my hair out that long and it’s just too much for me to take care of, but if magically I could get dreads for a day, I would.
First summer romance? My first summer romance, go figure, is my fiancée. I met her the first day I moved to Portland and I’ve been with her ever since. Pretty good summer romance, huh?
Any Phobias? I have one phobia and that’s spiders. Spiders are the worst. They are disgusting demons and I’ve had that phobia since I was a kid.
