  • - You have to help me

  • pronounce this one.

  • Muske?

  • Think it's all French.

  • Le labo is the lavatory in French.

  • I actually found out today.

  • [bass heavy intro music]

  • - What's up GQ?

  • This is Devin Booker here

  • and here are my ten essentials.

  • Perfect.

  • When I was twelve years old

  • I got to visit my dad in Italy.

  • He played basketball over there.

  • And once I got to Italy I loved it so much

  • and that's where my love for traveling came.

  • Every summer, I gotta get on the road,

  • I gotta go to a different country.

  • My favorite stamp I have in my passport?

  • Um I'd say my China visa,

  • you know they take over a whole page for it.

  • I get excited for the stamp so every time

  • I get a stamp, you know I always look back

  • and think of all the past memories

  • I have in different countries.

  • - Bicycle playing cards.

  • Blue or red, that's your guys choice.

  • But I grew up playing cards.

  • Uh Spades was my game initially.

  • Um till I got to the NBA and then I learned

  • the game of Booray.

  • So that's my-my new go to game.

  • We play on the planes,

  • I play it in the hotel room.

  • My rookie year we had PJ Tucker,

  • Jared Dudley, Eric Bledsoe.

  • Our Blu-Ray squad, we call it the blue crew,

  • those were some of the heated,

  • more intense games for sure.

  • Oh, Beats Pill.

  • I'll watch a game on television

  • and turn the TV volume off

  • and just listen to music.

  • I'm listening to music around the clock.

  • - [Interviewer] How did it feel to be

  • name dropped by Drake?

  • - Yeah, it was cool man.

  • He told me two weeks prior

  • that he was gonna do it

  • but I didn't know it was

  • gonna be in two weeks,

  • I thought it was gonna be later

  • down the line.

  • So I ended up hearing Travis' album

  • which is one of my favorite albums also,

  • Astroworld,

  • And the song of the summer

  • my name was mentioned in it so

  • it was dope.

  • Actually the point of this wasn't the wine

  • it was the drop stopper right here.

  • I went to Nappa for the first time this summer.

  • And they have these laying all over the place

  • and I wasn't familiar with them at the time.

  • And I don't know, it's just the little things man.

  • Just, I'll show you how it works,

  • it just gets me excited I don't know.

  • So you just half, half fold it like this.

  • It's called a drop stopper so when you

  • pour wine, it drips down all the time.

  • This helps all of that.

  • Watch how good the pour is.

  • Whoa.

  • [bottle clanks]

  • I gotta taste it now, I'm sorry.

  • Mhm. I keep them on the road with me.

  • I've introduced it to all my friends,

  • everybody's always like 'what's that?',

  • put it in the bottle, I show them,

  • um, and I got to the point where

  • I finally made custom ones.

  • We stay on the road so we're out

  • at dinner a lot,

  • and you know a lot of nice places

  • where you can get pretty good bottles so.

  • There's a lot of guys around the league

  • we talk we talk about wine now.

  • We'll go out to dinner and do do a couple bottles.

  • Everybody will bring their own bottle and

  • we just have conversation over it.

  • Here we are.

  • Custom notebook slash journal slash ideas

  • slash a little bit of everything.

  • And if somebody went through here and

  • tried to read it,

  • I don't think you guys could read it

  • cause it's in my own language.

  • Any thought I had,

  • any saying that somebody would say

  • that would stick in my head,

  • I would just write it down and

  • it's never by no certain order,

  • it's never by day,

  • it's just an open book really.

  • You just write everything and you know

  • looking back on it you know

  • some of my best ideas are right here

  • on pen and paper.

  • Something about writing it helps me

  • remember it.

  • And you know actually execute

  • what I'm trying to do.

  • The holy grails!

  • This is the Nike Air Force One

  • Moss Point Edition.

  • And as you can see they're meant to be worn,

  • uh a little run down.

  • Moss Point is actually my high school.

  • Moss Point, Mississippi so uh,

  • me and Nike did a collaboration on this.

  • I think when Odell was up here

  • he actually showed these.

  • Very special to me man,

  • uh Air Force Ones are one of my

  • favorite shoes, still is today.

  • Um and when I had the chance to

  • you know, represent my hometown

  • of Moss Point, Mississippi in a shoe,

  • you know I wanted to do

  • something special for her so.

  • Lotta hidden messages on here.

  • Uh that people don't know about.

  • That's my birth date on here.

  • Creation ID.

  • It also says 'Bet Five'.

  • All of my friends when we were in school

  • we used to be in the gym betting

  • five dollar shots the whole time

  • so that was our thing.

  • On the back on the heel uh it says

  • 'Yes Ma'am No Sir'.

  • When I moved from Michigan to Mississippi

  • that was a big transition for me

  • which is southern hospitality

  • and using your manners and respecting your elders.

  • So you know I had to add that,

  • it's right there on the heel

  • in silver so you can't miss it.

  • This a Goyard bag,

  • I don't know if it's considered a messenger,

  • a brief case, you know, for traveling.

  • On the planes this is the perfect size for me

  • for a weekend trip, or a one game trip.

  • You know,

  • to keep a little bit of everything in here.

  • All right here we are with the,

  • the Patek 5711 rose gold,

  • uh my favorite time piece for sure.

  • My dad grew up collecting watches

  • and I used to always see you know

  • how much he valued them and cared about them

  • and he usually let me wear them a couple times.

  • So I was like whenever I'm in that position

  • where I can get my own watches it's gonna be it.

  • So this watch right here I feel is

  • is very timeless and simple ah compared

  • to like a Presidential Rollie.

  • You know I feel like it's just here forever.

  • Here we go.

  • I was first introduced to Labo actually

  • when I was staying in New York at a hotel

  • called The Edition and this is before

  • they had a store.

  • It was like the, the house fragrance,

  • it was like all the lotions, the body washes,

  • all Le Labo.

  • So every time I would stay there

  • I would call down and say I ran out

  • just to stack up on it and take it home.

  • The lotion is so powerful you don't even

  • need to wear a cologne with it.

  • Apple wired headphones,

  • you see I keep the wire.

  • You gotta keep the wire on there.

  • I have Airpods, I had like five pair

  • but I lost them all but I never lose these.

  • Probably because they never get stolen.

  • Nobody wants them but

  • I love the cord.

  • All right guys,

  • you've seen my ten essentials.

  • I appreciate you tuning in.

- You have to help me
