King Pryor recently notched another honor, that being named the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Player of the Year in basketball. And with that honor comes a brief Q&A and a dramatic photo op with four other players who don't have their own action figures.
In the accompanying article, the brief interview with the Royal Highness gives a rare glimpse into his non-sports mind.
Pryor said Barack Obama should be President, an answer you may or may not agree with, but nonetheless an answer more responsible than fellow Fab-5 honoree Deandre Kane's answer of "Kobe Bryant". Unless Kobe can use his jumper to somehow get the price of gas to less than $3.35 a gallon, for which he would probably score a good number of votes.
Pryor's dream prom date was revealed to be Eva Mendes, which might be a problem for another athlete in town.
Pryor also said he's addicted to weightlifting, he has a lot of tattoo maintenance on the horizon, and he'd buy his mom a house if he won a million dollars. This varies from his answer after being named to the Fabulous 22 in football, when he said he'd buy a car for each of his parents and a couple pair of shoes. However, my favorite Q&A was "Three words to describe yourself": "Tall, laid-back and a winner."
Congratulations, Jim Tressel. You have one confident, Eva Mendes-loving young man on your hands.
