good knowledge life man program
He's done so much for me. He's good for the program and does everything in life by the book. He's a good man with a good knowledge of basketball, but more importantly, he's just a very good man.

It's really been a dream come true. Ever since I made that shot against Shabazz my junior year (ironically, the only points he scored in that entire game) and then coming here and being a backup point guard to now, it's unbelievable.
