Straight Shooter| How did you come up with the Frye scale? [Ed note: Peep channingfrye.com/blog] | I go a lot of places and watch a lot of movies and stuff like that and I like giving my opinion. But I didn't want to just say what I thought. I felt I needed a proprietary system to accurately communicate my opinions in an easy to understand visual way. And, given my name, the Frye scale just works. |
| What's the funniest joke you've ever heard? | This is my favorite joke because it's so bad and it always gets a laugh because of how bad it is. It goes like this: "A guy walks into a bar. Ouch." |
| Which teammate has the nicest crib? | The teammate with the nicest crib is [former University of Arizona teammate] Richard Jefferson's crib in NYC [Ed note: We're not sure if Richard has sold his New York condo yet]. It's definitely a guy's bachelor pad with everything in it: pool table, movie room, all types of cool stuff. It is a nice house, middle of New York City, so it's a great location, there's a lot to do, and it's awesome. |
| Who's the most popular NBA player among NBA players? | Man, I don't have a clue who's the most popular and I don't care [laughs]. I'm not trying to make friends other than my teammates or guys I've known. I'm trying to win games. But, if I had to guess, I'd say myself because I know if I had to vote for the coolest person in the League I'd at least get one vote and that's from me. |
| Can you actually hear individual heckling in arenas? | Dang, heck yes we can hear hecklers sometimes when the game gets quiet. They're funny, though sometimes they just say funny things and you have to refocus on the game. One time in college I was playing Washington and they got hold of my cell phone number and they were chanting it the WHOLE game and kept saying "Can you hear me now?" from that phone commercial. It was the worst. So obnoxious. But it didn't throw my game off; I had 30. |
