Jeff Fuller / Men´s Basketball

This year the SSU men's basketball team has several quick and athletic guards, and sophomore Jeff Fuller is one of them. He's ready to step up and contribute in what will hopefully be a big season for the Seawolves, and the STAR was able to catch up with him for a few moments.


Q: Allright Jeff, thousands of college kids are reading this. No pressure! Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

A: Michael Jordan is my favorite because he played the game of basketball the way it was meant to be played. And he is the one athlete who I feel can be looked up to, because of how much respect he showed and gave to the game.


Q: Amen to that. So what CDs have been in your rotation lately?

A: I can't get enough of the new Kanye West CD, "Late Registration". He's the only rapper talking about something real right now.

Q: If you could have dinner with anybody in the world, who would it be with and why?

A: It would have to be my mom, because I don't get to see her as much as I'd like to. And because I think family comes first and is really important.

Q: Awww! Now we can definitely add another reader to the list. So what do you do to get fired up before a game?

A: I like to listen to music that can get me hyped. Either Tupac, Eminem or Jay-Z.

Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

A: It would probably have to be Miami, and I hear that the East Coast is a lot different than the West.

Q: South Beach would be entertaining. Do you have any moments thus far in your basketball career that really stand out in your mind?

A: There are many moments in my career that stand out to me, but the one that stands out the most is when I had to sit out last year due to illness because it taught me not to take things for granted, and it also showed me how much basketball meant to me since I didn't have it anymore. Now I approach the game a little different. Tomorrow is never promised.

Q: If you could have your own shoe made, what company would it be with? And what would be its name?

A: I'm not too big on shoes, but I'd probably go with Nike because they're comfortable. And I guess I'd call them the "J's".

Q: If you had to write a book about your life, what would it be called?

A: "The Joy Ride" by Jeff Fuller.

Q: Finally Jeff, the most important question of all: What would be your perfect pizza?

A: My perfect pizza? That's an odd question, but it would have to be barbeque with bacon and sausage. I'm big on taste.
