If you go down to New Orleans in the poorer places, you still see things that are unimaginable. We were so lucky in Baton Rouge. We gave up our time, our homes, to help.

I'm a defensive stopper. That's what I live for.

He used to be just fat. Chubby. He was a ballplayer, but he was chubby. Now, he's taller. He's still big, but he's a great basketball player. He's not just a big guy in the middle.

He loves that kind of thing. He does those things to get people laughing and make people feel good.

We've helped the state a lot. When people watch our games, they forget they're living in a trailer instead of their house in New Orleans. It feels great to know we're making people happy.

He went through a lot of trials and tribulations. He would get hate mail slipped under his dorm room door and there would also be graffiti on his door. Through it all he was always strong and he's passed that down to me. I really can't imagine what it would be like to go through something like that.
