Chris Douglas-Roberts separated himself from most NBA players by requesting short shorts this season.

Theres another thing that differentiates him from most of his colleagues -- hes a vegetarian.

Douglas-Roberts said that he stopped eating meat, fish and poultry about two years ago.

I feel great, he said. You just see differences in your everyday life.

The shooting guard said that changing his diet has had a positive impact on his performance.

I dont really feel tired, he said.

Douglas-Roberts, 27, has been sidelined with a strained right Achilles' tendon since late November. The small forward had been averaging two points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.3 minutes over four games. He has a career average of 7.3 points and 2.2 rebounds in 20.2 minutes a game.
