STEPHEN HOWARDNBA Career - 1992-1998

How did playing at DePaul prepare you for the NBA? Playing at DePaul prepared me to play in the NBA in many different ways. Looking back, I believe the fact that we wereindependentmyfirstcoupleofyearsreallyhelpednot only my development, but also my exposure to top-lev-el talent. We had to play all of the top programs across the country because that was the only way that we could get into the NCAA tournament. When I went to the NBA, I had already played against the most of the players while I was at DePaul, so I knew what to expect. I also feel that DePaul University’s expectation of excellence on and off-the-court made me a more well rounded student athlete that translated into a successful NBA player.

What was your greatest memory as a professional player? I wouldn’t say that I had one great memory as a professional player but more of a great culmination of memories. Playing professional basketball allowed me to travel the world and meet amazing people of all different races, culture and religions while truly expanding my view of the world. There aren’t many people that can say that they’veplayedintheNBAfinalswhilealsovisitingtheWailingWall,seeingMeccaand shaking the Pope’s hand during Midnight Mass at the Vatican. Basketball has left me with not one great memory but many amazing memories that I will cherish forever.

What was your greatest DePaul memory? I have so many great memories at DePaul that it is hard to choose just one. While attending DePaul, it almost felt like I was on a magical carpet ride that I never wanted to end. I would have to say becoming an academic All-American, defeating Notre Dame at home on senior day as my last game in front of my home crowd and being inducted in DePaul’s Hall of Fame have to go down as my greatest memories as a Blue Demon.

Who was toughest player to guard? The hardest player to guard when I was in college was Alonzo Mourning. At DePaul I had to play out of position as a center because I was the tallest player on our team. That meant going head-to-head with the opposing team’s center. Alonzo Mourning was by far the strongest and most athletically-gifted player that I had to play and unfortunately for me I had to go against him every year. I never looked forward to playing against him because I knew I was in for a long night.

What were your feelings before your first game? IwasscaredtodeathmyfirstgameasaBlueDemon.IstartedthefirstgameofmyDePaul career as a freshman and we played in the Maui Invitational. This was my firsttimeInHawaiiandtheislandwasbeautiful.Unfortunately,wehadtoplayagainstUNLVinthefirstgameandthat’swherethebeautyended.Ourteamwasnomatchfor UNLV’s athleticism and skill and as a freshman I was clearly over whelmed. The best thing about that game was that we had another one the very next day so there really wasn’t any time to dwell on getting killed.
