I&amp;#8217;m on to better things, learning, working hard and trusting in god more.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carr, nicknamed \"The Crimestopper\" because of a reported dip in Baltimore crime during his high school games, says it was his recent experience in the D-League that had the biggest effect on his future plans -- \"It helped me mature more, playing with guys that are in the NBA now, living that lifestyle, I learned a lot.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as the NBA competition he&amp;#8217;ll be up against ... Aquille doesn&amp;#8217;t seem to be intimidated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We asked who&amp;#8217;d win in a one-on-one game between him and the NBA&amp;#8217;s number one little man Nate Robinson ... and Aquille didn't hesitate -- &amp;#8220;Aquille Carr The Crimestopper, no doubt.&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zpZRRaAbdzo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
