Ryan was wearing an NBA All-Star sweatshirt when the press conference began.
Also seated at the table are his mom, Carol, brother, Cameron, a sixth-grader at GA, and father,
Randy, the former 76ers' coach. Ryan peeled off the sweatshirt to reveal a Notre Dame T-shirt.
Ryan talks with Jason Shandler, of the Norristown Times Herald, as his mom speaks with GA's headmaster, Jim Connor. Behind them is another star junior basketball player, Brian Grimes.
Ryan talks with Comcast SportsNet's Brian Schiff in the background while GA
coach Jim Fenerty makes a point to a newspaper reporter in the foreground.
