Just wanted to inspire my teammates. Obviously, I didn't do enough.

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

When you work out or you're doing anything active, it's more fun as a group. You may lose track of the time, and the next thing you know, you're working out for two hours because you're having fun.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend?

I don't really get involved in it, the whole thing. I understand how important this city is and what I mean to this city and what our team means to the city... but I don't get caught up into it. I just go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and this franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.

I just bring the determination to win.

My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now.
