Monta Ellis (born October 26, 1985, in Jackson, Mississippi) is an American professional basketball player, who plays the point guard and shooting guard positions. He is currently playing for the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
Drafted by the Warriors in the 2nd round (40th overall) in the 2005 NBA Draft, Ellis was inserted into the starting lineup late in the 2005-06 NBA season, along with fellow rookie Ike Diogu. He was highly regarded as one of the players to watch during the 2006 summer league, but was unable to compete due to knee problems. After receiving very little playing time as a rookie, Monta improved immensely and showed some ability in his second season. He showed great potential in his sophomore campaign. Monta's rise is partly why Jason Richardson was traded; this trade also freed up playing time at the guard spot for Monta. After freeing up about $10 million dollars in cap the Warriors were then able to sign Ellis as well as fellow young star Andris Biedriņš. Now in his third season, Ellis has become one of the Warriors' top performers, being very clutch to win games. He is often referred to as "the future" of the Warriors' franchise.
On January 31, he was selected to play in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge during the NBA's All-Star weekend. He scored a dunk-filled 28 points in a win for the sophomore team on 13 for 16 shooting. He was edged out by David Lee and Chris Paul for the game's MVP honors.
On February 24, Ellis recorded a career high 13 assists against the Los Angeles Clippers.
On April 26, he received the NBA's Most Improved Player Award after averaging 16.5 points per game, a substantial increase from his average of 6.8 points per game as a rookie, edging out Sacramento Kings shooting guard Kevin Martin by three votes. Ellis's points-per-game average compared to the previous season (6.8 to 16.5), an increase of 9.7, beat out Martin's increase of 9.4 (10.8 to 20.2).

I chose this song cuz the kid is young, n living a rich man's dream. He has it all, money, fame, bball talent, etc. That is y. Kid was drafted out of High School, so young n talented n has ton of money to do whatever he wants. Me personally I like the song with the vid.
