Tyler Hansbrough's lucky number is 13

Posted Jun 26, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough is coming back to the Midwest. The Indiana Pacers made the Poplar Bluff native a lottery pick with the 13th selection in the NBA Draft. Hansbrough was on hand at Madison Square Garden to celebrate with his mom, Tami, his brother, Greg, and his father, Gene. "It's a great place for him, I think," Gene Hansbrough said about Indiana. "It's a great city with a great stadium, great fans. It's perfect." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
