Bucks.com: What was the absolute first thing that came to your mind when you saw Utah flipped over at #6? When you knew you had at least a Top 3?

Larry Harris: I thought, "Oh my goodness, we have a shot here." I couldn't believe it. I thought, "That isn't the Bucks logo." We were eye level with where the picks were being shown and I said, "That isn't our logo! We have got a definite chance here!"

B.com: What was the absolute first thing that came to your mind when you saw Atlanta flipped over at #2, knowing then that you had sealed the first pick?

LH: Oh gosh. You know what, to be honest, I know it sounds kind of goofy, but there was really an emotion of happiness almost to the point of crying. It was like nothing I ever expected. I was nervous and my hands were shaking. I got choked up. I thought, “I cannot believe this just happened.” I knew what all of it meant to the city of Milwaukee, to the fans, the players and to our entire organization.

B.com: What did you do today? Anything special?

LH: I’d love to tell you that I did all of these superstitious things. But honestly, I had lunch, made some phone calls, changed, got in the car, waited around and then took my seat on stage. All I did was reach into my pocket and touch three things: "Little Cleo", the bracelet and a wooden rooster that some other person gave me.

B.com: Did you carry the lucky charms with you on the plane or did you put them in your travel bag?

LH: On the plane. They were sealed in an envelope in my carry-on bag. I didn’t take them out until we landed. I didn't want to lose them.

B.com: Rumor has it that you own a lucky tie. Were you wearing that tonight?

LH: I wore a new suit tonight, actually. I decided to kind of change the "mojo" since we didn’t have the season we wanted. It was like a new beginning.
