Minors is an excellent role model, not just for WA students or his basketball team mates, but for our Island as a whole! Interestingly he was highlighted as just that when he won the Alpha Phi Alpha Beautillion and a $5000 University scholarship.
Although Minors is highly competitive, he reminds himself frequently of the importance of Sportsmanship. He respects the people around him whether they are officials or his opposition and he makes a point to shake the oppositions hand at the conclusion of every game.
