MAKING A NAME FOR
HIMSELF.
IN HIS JUNIOR YEAR, THIS IS THE
SECOND YEAR AS A STARTER AND
HOPED TO FOLLOW NBA ALL STAR JIM
JACKSON.
HE SAYS PEOPLE HAD HIGH
EXPECTATIONS THE MOMENT HE
STEPPED ON THE COURT.
IT IS HIS FAITH IN THE LORD THAT
HAS HELPED HIM.
I AM GOOD.
I AM NOT THAT GOOD WITHOUT THE
LORD'S PRESENCE.
I AM JUST AVERAGE.
THROUGH HIM, YOU CAN BE
EXTRAORDINARY.
REPORTER: AFTER SITTING THE
BENCH MOST OF HIS FRESHMAN YEAR,
HE CAME OFF THE BENCH AND WON
THE STARTING JOB.
KEY TO TURNING THAT AROUND WAS
HARD WORK AND FOCUSSING ON THE
LORD.
I FELT THAT HE WAS, I WASN'T
IN HIS PRESENCE, I STARTED TO
WORRY.
I STARTED TO WORRY ABOUT FAILURE
AND NOT PLAY AND NOT PLAY LOOSE.
WHEN I AM WITH HIM, I AM OUT
THERE AND YOU ARE NOT STOPPING
ME.
> REPORTER: IN THE LAST TWO
SEASONS, TRAYVON HAS EMERGED AS
A POINT GUARD.
TO HIM IT IS MORE THAN PART OF A
JOB, IT IS FOLLOWING CHRIST'S
EXAMPLE.
I KNEW ABOUT IT.
HE DIED ON THE CROSS, AS I AM
SEEKING IT, TO SEE WHAT HE DID
IS TRULY AMAZING, LIKE I COULD
NEVER FA THOM IT UNTIL I SEE HIS
WAYS.
MAKES ME WANT TO EM LATE HIM
EVEN MORE.
REPORTER: AS TRAYVON LEADS
THE BADGERS INTO ANOTHER
TOURNAMENT, HE WANTS EVERYONE TO
HEAR HIS MESSAGE.
SEEK THE WAY OF HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
YOU EVERYTHING AND
MORE.
REPORTER: NBA SCOUTS AND FANS
PROBING INTO HIS STATS, TRAYVON
HOPES THEY SEE HE IS MORE THAN
HIS FATHER'S SON.
I WANT THEM TO SEE SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT KID IS OUT OF THE
ORDINARY.
WHEN THEY DO THAT, CAN REDIRECT
THAT FROM ME UP TO HIM.
THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING I WANT
THEM TO SEE.
I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT ME.
I WANT TO GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO
THE KINGDOM AND TO THE LORD, TO
JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE WITHOUT
HIM I AM NOTHING.
PAT: THAT YOUNG MAN HAS GOT
IT RIGHT.
WITHOUT HIM I AM NOTHING.
THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
I AM THE LORD, THAT IS MY NAME,
MY GLORY, I WILL NOT SHARE WITH
ANOTHER.
APOSTLE PAUL SAYS WITHOUT HIM, I
CAN DO NOTHING.
MY LIPS WILL TURN TO CLAY.
WITHOUT HIM, I AM -- WITH HIM I
AM EVERYTHING, WITHOUT HIM I AM
NOTHING.
