CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Hello everyone! Life is great!
Mike (Philly)
I'm a big fan, Channing. How does it feel that you will soon be in the NBA?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
I feel great, man. It's definitely a blessing being here. It's awesome!.
Taylor (Phoenix)
Channing, first of all, thanks for all of the good times playing for Lute here in Az. Your stock has risen considerabley over the past few weeks. How does it feel being considered one of the top big men in a draft so deep?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
It feels good, I think there is more pressure put on me from me, more than anybody else can put on me. I'm just trying to take one day at a time through all this and take full advantage of every moment.
Jayson River ({Brooklyn Ny})
Channing, What an inspiration you have been to me ever since you reached Arizona, With Bold predictions that the New York Knicks going to pick you how to you feel playing along side Stephon Marbury and Company and how well do you think your chemistry will go along with them
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
I think the chemistry would be fine. I understand that Sephon is a scorer, and I'm cool with that. I would look forward to stepping my game up to play alongside Stephon. Playing for the Knicks would be great, if that happens, but right now, any situation would be a blessing. I'm actually from New York, and I moved away when I was younger, but it would definitely be a lot of fun to come back to this city.
Noah (New York City)
Channing, I'm from New York and the Knicks have needed a solid center since Patrick Ewing left. Do you feel you can follow in his footsteps?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
I can try, Noah, but filling the footsteps of Patrick Ewing would be pretty difficult for anybody so I'm just going to try to make my own tradition.
Greg (Cedar Rapids, IA)
Channing, what's the craziest question a team asked you while working you out?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Actually, what's funny about that is I haven't done any workouts. So, no questions ... although, I guess the biggest questions was why haven't you done any workouts??
THE SHOWGIRL
Why haven't you?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Umm, it just happened to go that way.
safi (Anaheim)
Channing, whats your pregame meal, or superstitions?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Chicken fingers, french fies, a lot of water, two Gatorades -- preferably yellow and orange. Then I gotta go listen to some gospel music. After that, I need to it a secret, I can't be letting them all out!
Shaun (Nashua NH)
Channing , there is a possibility that you could be the first senior taken, what advantages do you feel you have over the younger players and what do you think you have learned from one of the best coaches in the country?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Nashua -- that's where my brother was born! In college, I pretty much I learned how to played basketball. I learned how to grow in a system and work with teammates. The challenge now is starting all over in a new system, but it's a challenge I look forward to and it will make me into the man I want to be and the basketball player I want to be.
Douglas (Guam)
Channing, so whats the first big ticket item your going to buy after signing your multi million dollar contract?...
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Two English bulldogs! I love those dogs!
Adam (Hewlett NY)
Channing, what pro would you most like to hear advice from on the eve of the draft?
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Hmm, good question, Adam. Of course Michael Jordan or Hakim Olajuwon.
CHANNING FRYE (AZ)
Thanks for the support. Keep praying for me! See you tomorrow!
