Hansbrough readying self for NBA pro game ·
Despite comparable workout numbers to his peers, Tyler Hansbrough continues to fight a perception that he doesn’t have what it takes to make it in the NBA. As a result, Hansbrough’s agent has set up a number of unique workouts in an effort to make a late push for this week’s 2009 NBA Draft.
“I have already proven that I can run and jump with the best, not to mention win on the big stage” said the ex-Tar Heel. “Now I simply need to show I have the other intangibles that NBA GM’s have come to expect from all-star NBA players.”
The workouts are unique in that they take place off the basketball court. Drills include driving under the influence, domestic abuse, weapon concealment, and “being an asshole”.
“I’ve had to prove myself all my life, this will be no different”.
Hansbrough has already held private workouts with a number of teams, though this workout will be available to all interested NBA GM’s. The workouts have even become an interest to other sports. Reports indicate that the Cincinnatti Bengals and Dallas Cowboys have serious interest about Hansbrough’s ability to play hybrid WR/TE or be a dedicated special teamer.
“We already know he’s a great athlete and a proven winner. But we heard that in his private workout with Charlotte, he told Larry Brown he could go fuck himself” said a source within the Bengals front office. “You can’t teach that!”
“I’m a real student of the game” said the 2008 Player of the Year. “I think my game is a mixture of Chris Anderson’s hustle, Karl Malone’s finishing ability, and the big-man ball-handling of Derrick Coleman and I just want the chance to prove that I can be like those guys”.
