hey all
i'm from portland and probably know some things you might not know
i read a bunch of articles about him and all and this is what i got:
while in middles school, a lot of highschool coachse were looking at him. there were many articles about him in the papers while an 8th grader, and he didn't like that. when he got to HS, he tried to ignore the press as much as possible, but they wanted to interview him after every game! when he said he will go to UNC, papers reported that he is making a bad decision by not staying in Phily. that and all other things got him very angry and from that point on (actually, earliier) he never wanted to give any interviews at all. he became angry w/ the press and the refs in college and carried it on to the NBA
