Chris Paul

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. ”

I've been fortunate to be short my entire life. There's only one position I've ever had to play, and that's point guard. So I've always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk. ”

I trust my wife more than I trust myself. ”

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

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. ”

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

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. ”
