I've heard some of the NBA teams actually have plasma screens and videogame systems on the airplane, is that something you guys have?

No, we don't. I wish we did. That would be cool to have. I think if you go on the road you just have to bring the system with you.

What are your thoughts about what EA has done with your in-game character for NBA Live '08?

I'm very satisfied. It's very realistic. They got my body figured just like it is now. My shots looks just the way it is and all my moves are in the game just like I really do them. It's good to see yourself in the game and it's fun just to see your actual facial features in there.

Do you get any bonus player ratings for being on the cover now that you have an in with EA?

Na. I think that's one thing that EA doesn't do. I wish they'd kind of beef me up a little bit in the game, just so I could get a little bit of extra rating points for being on the cover, but I couldn't talk them into doing it.

It's a blessing to be on the game and I'm very humbled by it and I'm glad they chose me.

What games are you playing now?

NCAA Football 08, NBA Live 08, Madden NFL 08, and March Madness 08.

Do you have favorite teams you like to play with when it comes to Madden?

I'm a big Redskins fan so I try to play with them. I hate the Cowboys, but I try to play with them too because I'm a big TO fan.
