To the Cleveland Cavaliers organisation, fans, and community.
I am writing this letter with a heart full of gratitude and contemplation on the great adventure we took together. From the moment I stepped onto the floor in Cleveland, I felt welcomed into a community unlike any other. The encouragement and affection you have shown me during my stay here have had an indelible impact on my life and profession.
The Cleveland Cavaliers organisation provided me with a setting in which my abilities could shine. Everyone, from the coaching staff to my teammates, contributed significantly to my development as a player. The lessons taught, both on and off the court, have been invaluable, and I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity I was given.
To the fans, you are the heartbeat of this city. Your unwavering passion and dedication fueled us every game, whether at home or on the road. Your support gave me the strength to push through challenges and celebrate victories. I will always cherish the memories we created together, from the thrilling playoff runs to the unforgettable moments shared at the Q.
Cleveland has become a second home to me, and the community’s warmth and kindness have touched my heart in ways I cannot fully express. Your support extended beyond the game, and I am deeply appreciative. As I continue on my journey, I carry with me the lessons and memories from this incredible community. Thank you, Cleveland.
