ESPN's Davis receives Wooden Keys to Life award
Posted Apr 12, 2008
Former North Carolina star Hubert Davis accepted the John Wooden Keys to Life Award at Saturday morning's Legends of the Hardwood breakfast, giving all credit to his faith in Jesus Christ. "I haven't achieved anything; the only person who has achieved anything here is Jesus," Davis, now an ESPN commentator, said to a standing ovation from the crowd of 1,500 in San Antonio at the 13th annual event sponsored by Athletes in Action and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, hours before the Final Four semifinals.
