    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I was 3 when my father died, 6 when my mother died. It was tragic. My father died in a motorcycle accident. My mom was kidnapped and killed.

    My grandmother, my mom's mom, raised me after my parents died. She did a good job helping me out.

    If I found Aladdin's Lamp, one of my wishes would be to have my parents back. Another wish would be for no one in the world to be poor. I'd want nobody to be rich and nobody to be poor. I'd want everybody equal. Another wish is to be a great person in life.

    When I was a kid, I just wanted to be famous.

    The worst thing I did when I was a kid? It probably was when I stole an ice cream bar from a store. I didn't get caught doing it. The next time I came in the store to do it again, the store owner grabbed me. He said he saw me the whole time, stealing it. He said he was going to call the cops. I was so scared. I was about 7 years old. I was scared the cops were going to arrest me and put me in jail. I said, "I never want to be in this situation again." I never did it again.</div>

    GREAT stuff.

    I read it all. Really interesting. It's funny that many NBA players are playing xBox. ;D

    His childhood was really tough.

    He seems a very good guy.

    That's terrible, I'll never understand what makes a human being snap and kidnap, murder, rape, torture, etc... someone.

    I'm glad he's made a success out of his life and I'm positive that his parents are smiling down on him. Great read.

    Very interesting story and its always great to read about someone persevering like that.

    On a side note, Randy Foye is a communist:
