More from The Q&A: Willie Warren

Jenni Carlson: I understand you’re a broadcast journalism major. Why the interest in that field?
Willie Warren: Just watching Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson, I have the same sense of humor they have and I feel like I know just as much about basketball as them. My dad played basketball. My mom was a high school and college All-American. I’ve been around the game a long time, and I feel like I know enough about the game where I can just be on TV.
JC: You’re not going to go all Craig Sager of us if you make it, are you?
WW: I dunno. We’re just gonna have to see.
JC: But he wears pink and purple and crazy stuff.
WW: Oh, no, no, no. Not pink and purple.
