“But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.”

Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I'm still working out at my old high school.
I have short goals - to get better every day, to help my teammates every day - but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.
Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.
For me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you'd would wake up times and hope that the next day you'd be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.
