What's Up, Ty?

Posted Mar 23, 2007

Ty Lawson wears SpongeBob socks. He watches cartoons. He plays tricks on his coach. He sometimes treats practice with the same disdain as does Allen Iverson. Mention his name, and fellow freshman Brandan Wright breaks into a smile. "He's a little kid on the inside," Wright said. Mention his name, and rival coaches sweat on the outside. Lawson can break down defenses faster than Bugs Bunny can finish a three-word sentence. (Winston-Salem Journal)
