There are a couple guys who can't grow too much hair on their face. We're together. We've become a family. That's the most important part of a team.
I mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?
I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.
Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.
We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.
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.
It's always a struggle growing up in Akron.
Individual accolades come when your team is successful. It showed (Sunday).
I know that hard fouls are going to happen. They've been reading up on the clippings about me leading the league in 'and-ones', so they did a good job of trying to foul me before I got the ball up. That's just playoff basketball. I've always said that I could take those hits. All in all, the Wizards did a great job of coming in here and beating us.
I knew this was going to be a great game. We just made the best plays at the end of the game.
I knew I had to be aggressive. This was an important game. What's awesome is that we won the season series and have done a great job in our division.
It's sprained pretty good, but nothing serious. You never really know until the next day, but I've had them before, and this is nothing that bad.
Eight years is a long time. To experience that in his first year and then wait another eight years to get back, it's tough for him. You have to feel excited for him. It's awesome.
The atmosphere was unbelievable. This must be what playoff basketball is all about.
