2001 Slam Dunk Champion

About Me

I was born on October 11, 1977 in Waxahachie, Texas.I'm a NBA basketball player currently playing for the New Orleans-Oklahoma City Hornets. I am designated as a swingman, meaning I plays both shooting guard and small forward.I was drafted out of Oklahoma State University by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 17th pick of the 2000 NBA Draft. In 2003 I was traded, along with Gary Payton, to the Bucks for Ray Allen and Ronald "Flip" Murray. On October 26, 2005 he was traded along with a 2006 first-round draft pick to the Hornets in exchange for Jamaal Magloire. Which really pissed me off, because Coach Stotts said he wounldn't trade me. In 2001, I became the first Sonics player in franchise history to win the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Contest. In addition to my skills on the court, I am a accomplished painter. And, also I want to be able to open up my own museum to be able to display art from different cities here in the United States.
