I've worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I'm already prepared for the game. So when I'm listening to music pregame, it's really just about personal enjoyment.
I'm probably one of the most competitive people ever.
My eventual goal is to win a championship. And before I retire, I just want to win a championship. That's it.
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
I do feel like a Clevelander. Every time, when people ask me, I automatically say, 'My home is Cleveland.'
When you're playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it's like a video game. There's so much talent on the floor at once.
Draft day is a hectic day, especially for draftees and, more or less, for management.
Even during my injury, I had fun because I got to be a regular college kid.
Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.
I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.
I went to my agent and told them, 'I want to be on another Disney show.'
I'm in Cleveland. I enjoy myself. I enjoy going out and competing at highest level for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
I felt like we would have definitely won an NBA championship if everyone was healthy.
When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
