Brown Quote by Chris Paul
“You can replace houses. You can't replace people. I mean, it's left me speechless. I was talking to P.J. about it. When the storm hit, I just kept it on CNN and watched the whole thing. Just seeing Canal Street, knowing I was there just a few days before storm and seeing all those stores I went in being under water. Unbelievable”
