I've always been vertically challenged. I never grew at all until my junior year of high school-if you call that growing.

It's a business now. But you still have little butterflies in your stomach before every game.

Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.

You can replace houses. You can't replace people. I mean, it's left me speechless. I was talking to P.J. (Brown) about it. When the storm hit, I just kept it on CNN and watched the whole thing. Just seeing Canal Street, knowing I was there just a few days before storm and seeing all those stores I went in being under water. Unbelievable.

What I really try to do is take different pages out of different players books.

Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.

I've been a winner my whole life.
