First of all, I would like to apologize to all seven questions readers who expected a question and answer session with an in-season athlete. Due to my laziness and lack of planning, I am running seven questions as a lazy man does, by scrolling down my buddy list and asking my friend seven questions. Junior Deyvehn East (pronounced Devin), is a member of the men's basketball team. East bursted on the scene toward the end of last year's season, pulling down rebounds and occasionally scoring double digits. Although East's game is usually on point, I ran into him bricking jumpers and barely missing dunks like the kid on the Sprite commercials, so it was only fitting seven questions followed.
1. Your sport is out of season, how did you persuade me to get you on seven questions?
Twinkie and a Yoo·hoo.
2. We saw you in limited action last season, what can we expect out of you and the Jumbo team this year?
We're looking toward big things this season. You can expect some show stopping, razzle dazzle coming from me. We're out to prove that we're the most talented, most aggressive, and most importantly best looking squad out there.
3. I've never seen your name spelled the way it is, any special reason?
My parents were on point. They didn't want me to have a plain, normal name. Its the type of name when you say it and see it, you can feel it in your bloodstream.
4. Point guard Eric Mack is damn quick, who wins in a one-on-one match and why?
Mack is definitely quick. His defense reminds me of Gary Payton, "the glove". We call Mack "the club" though, cause his defense leaves some bruises. In a one on one match up, we wouldn't be able to finish cause Mack has a tendency to quit games early out of frustration. A lot of ball throwing, crying and complaining.
5.You prefer a "badonkadonk" or a nice apple butt on a lady?
No doubt a badonkadonk. I like the type of booty you can see from the front.
6.You remember that time I broke your ankles on the court?
No.
7. Since I definitely slipped up and an interviewing an out of season athlete, is there any Jumbo you feel I should have questioned instead of you?
First of all, basketball is always in season in my mind. No other sports compare. I wouldn't suggest interviewing any other real athlete. But I would love to see Andy "Rocky" Katz part II, the remix. Also, shout-out to Bisi.
