Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.

My childhood was never great. We moved from place to place a lot. There were times when we had no definite place to stay. So, a basic level of security was not always there. Therefore, when you finally make it out, and you become who I am, you're humbled by the memories of those situations.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

I'm confident with my ability.

I don't want to be called a point guard, but I can't stop it.

We aren't comfortable. We are not satisfied. We have to stay even-keeled.

I'm a guy who is just trying to be successful in whatever I do, and I give everything to my teammates, give everything to the coaching staff. When you fall short, it hurts and it eats at you, and it hurts me to know that I wish I could have done better and done more and just put a little bit more effort or whatever the case may be to help us get over the hump. But it just wasn't our time.
