Posted: 2/11/05 Section: Sports
Q: What's your favorite part about Champaign-Urbana?
A: Favorite part? Ubben ... 24/7 - it's just basketball all day.
Q: What do you think about Sports Illustrated's picture of your backcourt?
A: Excellent. It's good to us and it's something I'll never forget.
Q: Why did you pick No. 11?
A: Because of Isiah Thomas, my favorite player.
Q: If you had an X-Men-type superpower, what would it be?
A: Flying. I would just fly myself so I don't have to take planes anymore.
Q: If you had an And-1 nickname, what would it be?
A: I'm not an And-1 player, (but it would be) One Man Fast Break.
Q: What's your favorite quirk about Coach Weber?
A: Sometimes he smiles instead of speaks.
Q: What's your favorite movie and the last time you watched it?
A: Gladiator. I watched it about two weeks ago.
Q: If you could change anything about Illinois' basketball facilities, what would it be?
A: Construction - yeah, I'd lower the court and put fans on top of the court and just bring in more people, more seats.
Q: If you were on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and had to choose a teammate as a lifeline, who would it be?
A: Nick Smith. Easy - he's the smartest.
Q: If you could trade bodies with a teammate and keep your skills, who would you trade with?
A: Brian Randle, 6'7'', play whatever position - 1, 2, 3. Play all three positions.
Q: What's it like dealing with the Illinois winters?
A: I lived in Chicago for 14, 15 years, so I'm used to it. Most definitely want to stay there after college.
Q: What's it like around the apartment?
A: Video games and movie watching.
Q: Who's the best at video games?
A: Me, easy.
Q: You guys have gotten pretty competitive with pingpong.
A: Deron and James are nice. I've been nice; I'm still the best on the team.
Q: What's your favorite non-Assembly Hall venue in the Big Ten?
A: I'd just say Michigan State. That's a tough one - fans on the court.
Q: What's your favorite part about being introduced at games?
A: Fans are great, but it's seeing my mom smile.
