Tar Heels Hang Loose With Soulja Boy

Posted Nov 23, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough admitted that he might need to knock a little rust off his basketball skills. His rap star identification skills, however, are very polished. The Tar Heel traveling party was hanging out at Gate 48A in the Los Angeles airport Saturday morning when Hansbrough nudged Ty Lawson. "Hey," Hansbrough said, "there's your guy. It's Soulja Boy." Lawson shrugged in disbelief. But upon getting a closer look, Lawson said, "Hey, that is him!" (Tar Heel Blue)
