For Tyler Hansbrough, big bucks can wait

Posted Oct 24, 2008
For Tyler Hansbrough, the value of another year at North Carolina can't be measured in NBA dollars. It's not just about records, titles or trophies, either. The reigning player of the year is also back for something else: one more season to be a kid before basketball becomes a business. "I really enjoy college. I felt like this is where I want to be. I want to be a part of this team because I consider all my teammates like my brothers." (Greensboro News & Record)
