You think of 1,500 kids in the whole country. Just to be nominated is quite an honor.

He's just one of those guys who come along every once in while. Ricardo Lewis is the most talented player I have ever coached in basketball. Not only is he good in basketball, but a great kid also.

Honestly, I think a lot of people are jealous of Ricardo because of his ability. When we play other teams, it's like Ricardo has a big 'X' on his back, and that's a lot of pressure on a kid. You can't please everybody, but a lot of it is just jealousy because he does play so well.
