Notorious B.I.G. – “Juicy”
In ’96, at the height of his popularity and a year before his death, there’s no doubt Biggie would be a popular choice amongst the draftees. Camby is a dedicated fan who has stated his choice of Biggie if he could record a song with just one artist, and often used Christopher Wallace as his pseudonym when checking into hotels on the road throughout his career. Before his NCAA Player of the Year campaign at UMass, Camby grew up poor in Hartford, CT and could easily identify with the rags-to-riches mantra of “Juicy”.
