I went through a lot of battles in high school.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you - but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

People who say "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" never felt a broken heart.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

Basketball isn't easy. All my life I've been striving to make myself better. It's a full time commitment. To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option, and when you feel like you've reached your limit, it's only the beginning, that's when the time to dig deep, to find the courage to push some more, because if you've got the drive, the discipline, and the resolve to do what it takes to make yourself great, then the rewards are endless.

I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
