Tyler Hansbrough: Spreading his wings

Posted Dec 17, 2006

As he's expanded his already considerable game in two seasons at North Carolina, Tyler Hansbrough has widened his scope even more. Along with enhancing an already maniacal work ethic, he chills to Dr. Phil and never tires of Tyra. He's learning Swahili, gobbling sushi and has a thing for pedicures. "A lot of people look at it kind of like being a sissy, but it really takes care of your feet," said Hansbrough, who never imagined he'd embrace such habits. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
