I just don't buy into that hype."
Even though coaches will always brag on their kids, I would expect Coach Williams to know more about Hansbrough than jdw. Even I know that Jordan is one of the most competitive players to ever play the game. But I also know he did not work as hard in college as Hansbrough does. Michael's talent was much more God given. Tyler has had to work harder for his.
All this stuff about Hansbrough and the NBA is bu11$hit. Even NBA scouts don't agree on how effective he will be. To illustrate, how many D-1 coaches passed Stephen Curry?

Wow, pretty fired up BktBallRef. All I was saying is that the media coverage has been excessive in covering his work ethic and desire. I said earlier, I really like Hansbrough, believe he deserved POY honors, and enjoy watching him play.
But, if you don't believe his "work ethic" and "want-to" have been hiped to an extreme, I guess we've been watching different TV. I think it's what makes his critics more passionate than they would be otherwise.
