The most common word to describe Tyler Hansbrough’s game is “energy” which is fitting since the Hornets forward seems to turn things on and off just like a light switch.
Off the court, Hansbrough has a calm, almost tranquil presence to him. Soft-spoken and relaxed, one would never guess he was capable of the kind of aggressive play on the court that fittingly earned him the nickname “Psycho T” during his college days at the University of North Carolina.
“Off the court, I am a quiet guy. You’d be surprised some of the reactions I get when people meet me,” says Hansbrough.
