Psycho T will have company in NYC
North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough, who could be taken as early as 11th in the NBA draft Thursday night, said he debated whether to accept the invitation to sit in the Green Room at Madison Square Garden.
"But it's always been a dream of mine to be there and shake Mr. Stern's hand,” Hansbrough said during a phone interview Tuesday. “I also thought it would be a good opportunity for me to represent North Carolina and my part of Missouri."
He'll also have plenty of company. Hansbrough said his dad, mom, older brother Greg, UNC coach Roy Williams and his agent will be sitting at the table with him. In addition, Hansbrough said, teammates Bobby Frasor, Marcus Ginyard and Dewey Burke — as well as Frasor’s dad — are traveling to New York to sit in the stands.
“I'm starting to get nervous, a little jittery — just because you never know exactly what's going to happen, who's going to make trades, who's going to finally take you,'' he said. "But I'm really confident that things are going to turn out well.”

All I have to say is:
Thu, 06/25/2009 - 10:00 — annzup1All I have to say is: CONGRATULATIONS to Hansbrough for his CONSISTENCY, PERSISTENCE, RELENTLESSNESS, SMART PLAY, UNSELFISH PLAY, and DETERMINATION.
BEST WISHES!
Many, many thanks to your family for raising you with humility and thanks to you for not shrugging that quailty. Thanks to Roy Williams and those co-players who made this possible for you
As for those who ignorantly thought that Hansbrough would NOT be a serious NBA draft choice, his ability to play at the next level, there are inpatient treatment centers where you can detox from whatever you were smoking.
Thank you, Tyler!
For some of us who've followed Carolina basketball for over 40 years, you were the best to ever wear THAT BLUE, including Jordan! # 50 will remain forever etched in our hearts. Thank you!

Flop?
Thu, 06/25/2009 - 12:41 — willncsuCorrect. Floping is more of a Duke staple. He already has the NBA travel down though.
A Truly Outstanding Young Man
Wed, 06/24/2009 - 21:46 — tarheel73Tyler Hansbrough has been an outstanding student athlete in his four years at Carolina. There is no better representative of our state's flagship university than he. He deserves all the awards and recognition he has been given. Some NBA executive will thank his lucky stars when he realizes the contributions that Tyler will make to his professional team, the fans, and community.
AMEN to that! I'd be so
Thu, 06/25/2009 - 06:59 — pammy1AMEN to that! I'd be so proud if I were his parents....what an outstanding role model for kids!
