'I'm there for Cleveland. I love the city of Cleveland, I love the people and organization, so it’s cool just being there,' Darius Garland said. (via GQ)
After LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time in 2018, things didn't look great. They lost a ton, and in even-bad-for-Cleveland fashion. Guard Darius Garland, drafted in 2019, seemed like a bright spot, but the team still looked awful his first two years.
GQ: You were a finalist for the Most Improved Player Award this year. What was the major difference between this year and last for you?: My confidence. My confidence has increased over the last couple of years. I’ve been feeling out and learning the game, watching a lot of film. It was a lot of little stuff, for me. Everything started last summer: being with the USA Select Team and playing with the Olympic team for a couple of games gave me some confidence going into the season.
Something is brewing in Cleveland: y’all had two All-Stars this season, it’s been one of the most successful Cavs teams since LeBron James left. Why should I invest in Cavs stock? It meant a lot to see that confidence from the front office in me. Just knowing that if anything was to go wrong, they’ll have my back. I'm there for Cleveland. I love the city of Cleveland, I love the people and organization, so it’s cool just being there.It’s a lot of food spots that's pretty good. The summers here are crazy: get on a boat and go on the lake. It’s just…culture. It’s a big melting pot. Everyone gets along with everyone.
Has that been a hard adjustment for you? Because we don’t often ask people this young, to do this. What’s been the growing moments, the difficult parts you’ve had to face?
