The Cougar: Do people ever accuse you of being addicted to your phone?
Rob Gray, Jr.: No, not at all. I use my phone often, but I wouldn’t say I’m addicted.
TC: What is the one place you’ve never visited that you’d like to go and why?
RG: I’ve never been to Hawaii, and I’d like to visit, just for the experience and to see the scenery.
TC: What is the thing you miss most about Houston while on the road?
RG: The comfortable home atmosphere and having everything at my fingertips that I need, necessities and anything I want to do, I can just do it. Just being comfortable and having access to everything.
TC: Would you rather have the ability to fly or become invisible?
RG: I’d rather fly, so I can get places faster.
TC: Who is the greatest athlete in basketball right now?
RG: Steph Curry, no doubt.
TC: If you could have a one-on-one coaching session from any athlete or coach, who would it be and why?
RG: I’d have to say Michael Jordan, of course. He’s the best ever.
TC: What made you get into basketball, and when did you start to realize you could pursue it in college?
RG: My father always played basketball, and I’ve always watched it and had a ball since I was a little kid. When I started playing, it was something that I liked and excelled at since a young age, so I stuck with it. At 10 or 11 I realized I was consistently better than everyone I was playing with.
TC: If you could only watch two TV shows for the rest of your life what would they be and why?
RG: ESPN. All I watch is sports.
TC: What’s the thing you’ll miss most about UH when you leave?
RG: I don’t really have a favorite.
TC: Who is the best dresser on the team?
RG: Have go with my roommate, Eric Weary Jr.
