I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.

That's what keeps me humble because I know my background, know what my mother went through. I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do. My mom always says and my friends all say, ’You're just a very low-maintenance guy’. I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.

I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.

We have to continue at a high level and make them take tough shots.

We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.

I spoil a lot of people with my play. If you have three bad games in a seven-year career, people are going to point that out.

Teams make it tough on us, we make it tough on them. When you have two well coached teams that wanna win, it's going to be a competitive game.
