Get to Know Tyran ...
What's the significance behind your jersey number?
- Growing up there were a lot of people in my family that wore No. 4. I just wanted to continue that legacy.
- Growing up, I would go and watch my older cousins’ games a lot. That’s probably what made me so inspired, just being able to see the excitement in the gyms was a great feeling.
- I like to listen to music, pray, and probably eat something like fruit snacks or sour candy.
- My favorite basketball moment was when LeBron James came to watch my game at Peach Jam. I found out five minutes before the game that he was there.
- No one in particular. I just play my game and do what I do.
- Kevin Durant
