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.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

Obviously I'm not getting much sleep. You guys can see I'm not getting much sleep right now, but I'm OK with that. I'm OK with not sleeping to be able to prepare myself and mentally keep myself intact on what's the main objective for me right now.

In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

I've put our guys in position. I gave them the blueprint. I think they're ready.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.
