A fab game for Tyler

Posted Mar 11, 2006

North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough sat in the locker room gazing into cameras and talking into microphones when someone asked how he feels about being "like a rock star." "I get a lot attention, but I don't think it's anything like a rock star," he said. "I don't compare myself to a rock star. I'm a basketball player." True enough, but when the 6-foot-9 forward gets the ball in the paint he gets mobbed like the Beatles in 1964. (Raleigh News & Observer)
