Over the All-Star Weekend break, Chris spent his time giving back to the non-profit organization and AAU team he recently launched; The L.E.A.G.U.E. Foundation. The kids had the opportunity to have the NBA rookie work out with them and were extremely excited to have his presence there at their practice!


The Wizards kick off the regular season at home tonight!!!! Tip-off starting at 7pm ET against the New Jersey Nets. Make sure you tune in and support Chris! Go Wizards!!!

How would you describe your feelings on the lockout being lifted?

"I am happy I finally get to do something I've dedicated a lot of my life to pursuing."

When will you be heading to Washington?

"I'm not positive, but probably the 9th of December."

What is the biggest thing that will impact you from the lockout?

"That's a tough question... I don't think the lockout really effected me because I knew there was a possibility that it could happen, just like everyone else. So I just used the extra time to try and expand my game."

What are some goals you have as you get ready to enter into your rookie season?

"Make the playoffs and be a contending team every time we step out onto the court!"

I’m back in school at Florida State after doing a lot of traveling the past couple of weeks. And trying to make some money. I had a chance to play in the Jimmer [Fredette] all-star game in Utah. I was glad to be invited to play. There were a lot of skilled, talented players in that game. It was good to be there with everybody.
