NBA 2K LEAGUE DRAFT


February 22, 2020


Glenn "Glennratty7688" Wilkerson


New York, New York

Q. Can you say and spell your name and gamer tag?
GLENN WILKERSON: Glenn, G-l-e-n-n, Ratty, R-a-t-t-y, Wilkerson, W-i-l-k-e-r-s-o-n.

Q. You and I got to know each other quite well in the off-season. Thank you for your time.
GLENN WILKERSON: No problem.

Q. You spoke with me and you spoke to the world about your path, coming here.
GLENN WILKERSON: Correct.

Q. When you look back at your path to the year, what would you tell them?
GLENN WILKERSON: I'd tell anybody listening, it's tough to get here, but you've just got to keep pushing and you'll get here eventually. Season one I got into the 250 and didn't get to the second part, and season two I didn't make it at all, and I feel like I should have got in last year, but I didn't give up. I feel like not giving up is the key, especially with something like this, just got to keep working.

Q. The Heat have been looking for a point guard for really all three seasons. Do you think you could be their franchise point guard?
GLENN WILKERSON: I honestly didn't expect to fall this far, so I think playing with somebody like Hotshot, the best center in the world, he was in the Finals season 1, he still was one of the top players last year and didn't have a great season. I feel like this year putting me and Hotshot together, we'll get the job done.

Q. What is the No. 1 emotion you're feeling right now?
GLENN WILKERSON: I'm just blessed, honestly. Just blessed, happy. I told you, it's a long journey, but ever since real basketball, getting injured and not being a top 150 player in the world in real-life basketball, so coming here and being one of the best 2K players in the world and finally achieving something, it's a blessing.

Q. You've played against some of the best in the world. Are you ready to take on that challenge?
GLENN WILKERSON: In real life?

Q. Now.
GLENN WILKERSON: Oh, now? I've played against all the top guys all throughout the whole year. I've played Ramo a lot. I've learned a lot from him, and Ramo and Hotshot have played together, too, so they've got a lot of similarities, which makes me feel I fit well with Hotshot. But like I said before, it's a testament to putting the work in. That's just all I do.

Q. You're wearing a locket with a picture of two people on it. Can you talk about who those people are and what they mean to you?
GLENN WILKERSON: On this side is my mom. She's out there with me. She's my rock. She helped me through everything. Every time I fell, she picked me up. Always keep her with me. That's my grandma, she passed. She basically raised me. That's my two ladies right here, so I just keep the women.
