[COLOR=”blue”][B]TK:[/B] You wear #40, what is the significance of that number?[/COLOR]
[B]GH:[/B] I wear # 40 because mom wore that same number in High School and college (editor’s note: she wore it in the pros as well – see photo).

[B]GH:[/B] Best part of my game is getting to the basket. I’m working and trying to improve on everything.
[COLOR=”blue”][B]TK:[/B] I see from your schedule that you played Pike HS in February, how do you match up against Kentucky commit Marquis Teague (and could you play alongside him at the next level)?[/COLOR]
[B]GH:[/B] Me and Teague matched up pretty good, he’s gotta be one of the quickest players I’ve played against.
[COLOR=”blue”][B]TK:[/B] When you get to the NBA and start making millions of dollars, what’s the first thing you’re going to buy?[/COLOR]
[B](Joy Harris):[/B] He’s going to buy his mother a new house (laughs).
Kentucky has not offered a scholarship at this time, but they said that if Kentucky were to offer, Gary would definitely be interested.
