I love New Orleans.

Being close ain't good enough.

Sometimes the fans are too nice.

I've been a winner my whole life.

If my son is happy, then I am happy.

I hate losing more than I like winning

I'm not much into anything too flashy.

I trust my wife more than I trust myself.

Whatever I have to do to help us win, I'll do.

I can dunk! I can dunk, and not just in NBA Live.

Even today a lot of people know me because of my grandfather.

Every now and then you're going to get beaten, but we work hard.

Keep practicing. Never let someone tell you you're too small or too slow.

You only get a chance to live your dream once, and I'm living mine right now.

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

I always have said that the most valuable thing I have isn't money; it's my time.

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

I had never been to Oklahoma City before. I had no clue. Just heard there were a lot of tornadoes.

People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.

I always tell D-West, 'We're the leaders on the team, and if we go down, we've got to go down shooting.'

From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.

I was always into sports games. Never really played anything else. I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam.

Exercise and good nutrition helped make me what I am today and are critical in allowing me stay on top of my 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.

That's the great thing about big cities: Nobody is judging. You really get a chance to show who you are with your style.

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

One of the things you learn when you go overseas is how much a lot of the countries overseas really just like to enjoy life.

I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam, then moved on to NFL 2K on Dreamcast. The game I really loved was Virtua Tennis.

No matter where you put me, I don't care if it is North Carolina, Florida, California, New York City; I'm going to be who I am.

You don't always have to be a leader and be as vocal as I am. I'm sure some people would love it if I didn't talk as much as I did.

For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.

I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.

We showed why road games have been tough for us throughout this year. That's where we've got to get better. It's a learning experience.

I'm a little brother. I've always been small. People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.

I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.

The least amount of buttons [in suit], the better. If you have to go with three, you can go three. But all that eight-button stuff? Nuh-uh, not a fan.

I'm not the greatest long-distance shooter, I know that. But I know if I can get around that free-throw line area, a lot of times you've just got to hope I miss.

I realize that I'm not going to be doing interviews for the cover of 'GQ' for the rest of my life, know what I mean? I'm on TV because I play basketball really well.

Im still getting more familiar with the plays and different things, but I think that will come along with getting more experience and getting to know the guys better.

I need energy every day. Whether I'm leaving home and going to practice or getting in the car with my two kids to take my son to school - I need all the energy I can get.

For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.

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.

Most of the time, if you ask a kid who's their best friend, it's usually a classmate or their neighbor or something, but for me, it was my granddad. Everybody knew him - they called him Mr. Jones.

I have a Dominique Wilkins Hawks jersey that I still wear. That's probably my favorite one. What's funny is that I spend all this time collecting jerseys, and now people are out there collecting mine.

I don't care what anybody says, there's nothing like the cultural influence of hip-hop. For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.

Being from North Carolina, it's kind of slow-paced. There's not too much going on there, whereas in New Orleans, there's always something going on. I just love all the people, going out to dinner and enjoying anything I want.

I love Polo. I have a lot of Ralph Lauren suits. I got Dolce, I got a little bit of everything. And my favorite thing about Ralph Lauren is that he puts the number three on a lot of his clothes, so I feel like it's meant for me.

Obviously I want the fragrance to smell good. I tell people all the time that when you see someone there can obviously be a physical attraction, but scent is something that stays with you. It's something that you remember about a person.
