  • Miami is one of Lamar’s favorite places to visit because of the good weather, the beach, girls, shopping and its beauty.
  • His favorite television show is SportsCenter.
  • Earned First Team All-Mid-South Conference and Second Team NAIA All-American honors as a senior at Georgetown.
  • Along with basketball, Lamar played football and ran cross-country in high school.
  • On his experience in Luanda, Angola (Africa) … It was hard, my coaches didn’t speak any English so I always had to ask the other players what my coaches were saying. There wasn’t a whole lot to do there. It was a different world, all I did was go to practice and come home. I would give money away to people (less fortunate) on my way to practice. Before I left I gave away a whole suitcase of clothes. It is sad how people live like that with nothing. I just wanted to help out.
