Kut: Who is Zachary Graham? Zac: A student/all-around ball player with mad respect. Also someone who likes to chill and relax, while having fun. Zac: That I watch the Rugrats, also that I can cook really well. I like to write, and I love to freestyle. Zac: First, God. My Grandmother, she is like the perfect person, spiritually, she just has an attractive personality and she has always been there for me since I was born in Orlando. Also, my mother, father, and brother. They all are the reasons for the success that I have had in my life, Zac: Ever since I could dribble it, throw it, or shoot it. Zac: I play for both. Without the name on the front, there would be no name on the back. I give it all for the team, the team always comes first. I also play to earn respect and show my skills. Zac: I worked with my dad David Graham, and my AAU coach (GA Hurricanes), Sean Jones. Going to ABCD Camp was one of the most helpful experiences in my life as far as basketball. Also the Nike Hoop Jamboree was a good experience, learning a lot of fundamentals and playing against good talent. People try to say that my game is only driving to get to the bucket. Getting to the basket is a challenge, I like to challenge my self. Last summer I worked hard to perfect my jump shot, I am now starting to display that in my game. I also want to continue to better my defense. Zac: My coach calls me "Z" My dad calls me "Z-Man" My friends call me "Showcase". Zac: I appreciate that, and it is an honor. At the ABCD Camp I kept hearing that our games were being compared to, or symbolized the other. I was able to then see and play against him this summer, that kids game is tight. Kut: What's the difference in AAU and High School ball? Zac: In school ball (usually) the team is limited to only having the kids in the local area. In AAU ball "everyone" on the team can play. The atmosphere is different as well. You play and work hard over the summer. When you enter school, you are suppose to have fun playing in front of your peers and dominating other schools. School ball is more of a system then AAU. AAU is much more competitive, the players in the events are much larger, and all the players are very serious about their game. In AAU I really get a chance to develop and define my game against talent. Zac: OJ Mayo, I have mad respect for him. One reason being, he posses a part of the game that I admire. That being "Dawg". He will come down court and call you over, look you in your eyes, tell you that you won't stop him, then score. Good players have confidence and he is a good player. Kut: What is your most memorable moment playing basketball at anytime? Zac: Dunking for the first time on my friend in 7th grade in P.E. Zac: "MJM" Mike, LeBron, and Magic. They are all role models for me, that are very respected. Who wouldn’t want to meet them? I look up to them in every way. Zac: Whatever they wanted. Zac: Umm. . . . . Jay-Z Zac: It changes, Jay-Z, Dipset, or Lil Wayne, I like a lot of different artists. It depends on what mood I am in. Down South, or Up North. Zac: A black on black Maybach. Or a Yukon Denali, I like ridin' Big Body. Zac: Anything Grandma makes "especially if its sweet". I also like Mexican food. Zac: Zorro, because he was quick, smooth, deceptive, helpful, and loved by his people, yet he lived among them and they didn’t even know. Zac: Depends on the surface. Zac: White Tee, I like to be comfortable, but there are times when I like to get my "Grown Man On". Zac: Magic Johnson Zac: My Brother David, my family. My friends at Peachtree (don’t want to leave nobody out). Sidney "King" Haynes, Bassey "BO$$ MAN" Inameti, Cameron "Killa Cam" Heyward, Lafayette "Laffy Taffy" Wilson, Eddie "Bron Bron" Brown, and Bryen "BP" Pyles. The rest of my friends, and people who have supported me. A BIG shout out to "Kut", and 4SHOT Sports for allowing me to do this "On Da Bricks". Aye! Psalms 139:23 & 24 Search me, O God and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
