   Say what you may, but the way this has played out makes Leslie one of the all time greats at NC State. I really hope he finishes the season strong, makes the All American team so we can hang his name in the rafters.

   We have witnessed the maturation of CJ over the last several years. He is now a grown man. Great job CJ, and thanks to Will for being at every game pulling for the Pack. Go Pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

   These guys are representing the university so well. Such a complete transformation from a public perspective for Mr. Leslie. You just can’t buy this kind of exposure. Well done!

   Watched it this morning. Great story and two great representatives of NCSU. This put a punctuation mark on a great if not “Classic” game. Whether the game was classic or not might be in dispute, this ending was without a doubt. So proud to be a State grad. Go Pack.

    It has been awesome to watch CJL grow up both as a person and a basketball player. I am so proud that both these young men chose NC STATE!

    She did call him CG once. Ugh. Other than that it was a good piece.

    It is so great to see State, its students and athletes getting such great positive exposure. Agree, these are the kind of people that go to State. “This is our State”
    My daughter was on the floor and she said that is was the greatest experience of her life. We can be very proud of all the young people, both students and student athletes that represent NCSU. You are great.

    “Will, has this event improved your sex life?”

    “What do you think, Matt?”

    “CJ, What about you?”

    “Yes, Matt, but so there is no confusion, only after I put Will back in his wheelchair..”

    Crazy, crazy story. When you look back and realize that the PNC staff got him in position to be there and it was the Student Body Prez pushing from behind it shouldn’t take much imagination to realize this could have played out much differently in a negative sense.

    Kudos to Calvin, he reacted in a way that exemplifies the kind of student athlete you would love to be at your University. I also think a lot of credit, not all, but more then is sometime given, to Coach Gottfried and the staff for continually pushing CJ to be a leader and high character young man.

    This story represents anti-nc state shit. Like many have said, this story may have ended in a disaster. Plus, Purvis was also on the ground for a short tine and could have gotten injured.

    CJ Leslie wasn’t satisfied just scoring 25pts, beating the #1 and undefeated rival Blue Devils..he had to rescue a student in a wheelchair taboot!!!
