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.

It was great. We had already played together for a long time and to get him into a situation where he could thrive and become a man was important. He didn't have a father figure in his life at that time and my dad filled that role. We basically became brothers.

I've known Tyrus since we were about 4 years old.

It was amazing. People everywhere would see us wearing our colors and come up telling us how much they missed home. Everyone wanted to talk, to wish us well.

They had enough time for a shot on us.

They got a lot of easy baskets and we didn't get any easy baskets. That was pretty much the story of the night.

We've helped the state a lot. When people watch our games, they forget for a while they're living in a trailer in Shreveport or Houston instead of their house in New Orleans. We are making people feel happy, at least for a moment, and nothing is more satisfying than that.

Most guys who went through what (Davis) went through hardly live to talk about it. He didn't have a father figure in his life at that time, so my father was that man, to help him out and get him on his feet.
