I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

Where I grew up - I grew up on the north side of Akron, lived in the projects. So those scared and lonely nights - that's every night. You hear a lot of police sirens, you hear a lot of gunfire. Things that you don't want your kids to hear growing up.

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

A friend told me 'I guess you gotta go through a lot of nightmares, before you finally, you know, accomplish your dreams.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

I think the reason why I'm the person who I am today is because I went through those tough times when I was younger.
