To every player who went undrafted yesterday: keep tunnel vision on your vision. Don’t let one moment define your journey. Your time is coming. Stay with it, keep working, and trust the path. Everyone’s route to the destination is different, but every journey is meaningful. -TC

Fears and Queen ending the season on a high note 🫡

"He was like "do you want to be a guy or the guy?"... I had a few bad games and Jose was like pick it up because you're gonna be the guy... Everyone in this organization believes in me. I just gotta have that killer mindset" -- Derik Queen on being the face of the franchise

Jeremiah Fears & Derik Queen are the first pair of rookie teammates since 1957 to record a 30 point double-double in the same game

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"
