Larry Nance

“I've been wearing 22 my whole life and to get to wear it for the Cleveland Cavaliers is beyond a dream come true.”

“Coming into the league, I thought road NBA road trips weren't a big deal. 'You stay in the nicest hotels! You get meals! You get free time! I'd love to be on the road!' It's not like that at all. You lose track of time, and sometimes even what city you're in.”

“Getting to play with Kobe was awesome and just seeing Shaq, anytime, is unreal.”

“I never want to take a bad shot or force anything. If ever I catch the ball and think one of my teammates might be a little more open, with a little bit better of a shot, I'm going to give it up. Immediately. To me, that's just how basketball is supposed to be played.”

“Getting the opportunity to shoot some, and feeling confident, did a lot for me.”

“Willie Green is a heck of a coach.”

“I got picked by the Lakers, but I was told the Celtics were going to take me at 28. If it wasn't there, I was told Golden State was going to take me at 30, if I was still there.”

“I'm a move junkie.”

“Playing with LeBron is pretty awesome.”

“I don't even want to play if tanking is on the table.”

“I know I can shoot, my teammates know I can shoot, my coaches know I can shoot. But it's hard to stay confident when so many of them just rattle out.”

“Roy Hibbert thinks it's funny to mess with me.”

“I've played many times against Lauri Markkanen, so I'm all too familiar with the kind of matchup nightmare he is for defenses.”

“I try to key in on getting every defensive rebound.”

“Cleveland will always be home for the Nances, it's in our blood.”

“Growing up, having the name 'Larry Nance Jr.'... in Akron and Cleveland, Ohio - that's not the easiest thing, especially when I wasn't very good at basketball.”

“The only offers I had were Wyoming and Bowling Green.”

“Thibaut Courtois has sent me a couple of videos of him shooting, him dunking around, so he's talented with a basketball, but I also think Zlatan with his height would do well.”

“That's a major part of my game. I pride myself on the defensive end.”

“That's what it's all about: community helping community.”
