I'm just a little kid from Akron.

The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

I hope I can help guys coming out of high school, if they need advice. I know the ins and outs of everything.

Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

We have an opportunity to get better.
