Eric Maynor paid Richmond, VA a visit this past weekend after the Utah Jazz finished their summer league after 5 games in Orlando. We get a chance to check out Eric’s new ride and get to talk to him about his draft night experience, the Utah Jazz and the transition from College to the Pros. Also, we get Eric Maynor’s predictions for the Coach Smart and the Rams this season.

Guard Lebron? By the time he gets in the game, LBJ will be kicked back in his sweats thinking about dinner. War Broad Street, war two-camera shoots, war leased Range Rovers.

Good to see Eric back on Broad Street. He has the right attitude for success in the NBA. Heck, I would love to guard King James for a minute, just once...go for it Eric...Matt, you could only dream, so enjoy your Kia. Jamal Shuler is a walking talking entertainment center...great to see him and I wish him the best in Germany. And finally to Brandon, cut that chin! Nice video Ram Nation, do one on each Ram!!!

This interview speaks volumes about the education VCU granted Maynor. They did him a MAJOR disservice by allowing him to graduate with these elementary communication skills. I'm SO disappointed by this! Just think, he'll be telling people for the rest of his life- his degree says Virginia Commonwealth University. SMH. Should've hired him a Speech Therapist at least. darn VCU! Major letdown.

Ashley,

Show me one other class of '09 grad who inked a $1.3 million salary their first year out of college and I will gladly take this video down...

Eric Maynor and most VCU students don't go to school to become great orators...they go because of the promise of a better career. I'd say VCU did a fine job of doing just that for Eric Maynor.

Congrats Eric! I am from Raeford, NC myself..I know your mom and dad, we are very proud of you in the community. We've had great athletes come out of our modest sized hometown, e.g. Kathy McMillan(1976 Olympic Medalist in the long jump). Work hard and realize that your dream is a REALITY now and that practice makes perfect..Hopefully Terrell McIntyre will be able to make his dream a reality also..One other note, I am an excellent PR guy..Take Care!
