I'm losing toys. I don't know if they saw. I wouldn't say.

Yeah, my grandmother, Leela, we call her Medea. She was like, I would say for me, the epitome of love. Just like the backstop of care and wanting to see. All she wanted to see was, she wanted you to be clean cut, honorable, respectful, humble, and treat people kindly. She was funny. I think that's where I get my sense of humor from and my wittiness. She was all about the church.

We had to stay in church. We had to go to church. Funny enough, she was never into sports. Never. When I in the basketball, she used to be like, boy, you in that damn ball. You play that ball too much. You know what I mean? Like, you better get your education. You better have something to fall back on. So that was her thing with basketball.

Like, yeah, whatever it is you think you want to play that, you better get an education. You know what I mean? You don't want to be no dummy. That's what she used to call me. You don't want to be no dummy. But she was like the perfect person, man. I think when you think about like unconditional love. Like that's a grandmother's love. It's just so unconditional, right?

And, you know, she passed away, I would say, all the way to my last year in the league when I, Cleveland, my transition from Cleveland to New York. And the sad thing about that is she had dementia. And I didn't know what dementia was when she had it.

Yeah, you know, like in the hood, you know what I mean, or on this part of the movie, they may say dementia, but you're like, you don't know what the fuck that means. We're like, oh, she going crazy. Oh, you know, she just repeat herself. Like in our community, we kind of like, it's kind of like a nonchalant approach of, Oh, you know, granny gone crazy. She just be talking shit.

Don't pay attention to her. Or, you know, she's tired or she'll just repeat herself. But like the dementia, I didn't know what it was. And so I started getting frustrated with my grandmother. And getting frustrated going to see my grandmother. That was like my only place of peace and refuge. And I always say I like never had a chance to have the last conversation with her.

And so that's when I learned what the word dementia was. Then I was able to forgive myself again for my ignorance, right? And then also, like, you're sitting in this weird space where it's like, damn, like, I could have... maybe done something to help, you know what I mean? But there was nothing I can do to help. So like I have to be at peace now that I understand. You know what I mean?

Now that I understand it.

Yeah. You can do and be whoever you wanted to be as long as you clean up, clean cut, make good grades, don't get in no trouble. That was it. That's all she cared about. Do not get, be a good human being. Be God fearing, right? Treat people right. Treat people with respect. You can be whatever you like.
