05/06/07 - Kids win at Antwan Scott game
In most basketball games, you have to sit through the whole thing before you figure out who’s the winner. Not on Saturday. The second annual Antwan Scott Charity Basketball game made the children of New Bern winners before the first shot was even taken. Scott, a former Bear and Wake Forest basketball player, held the event in the Bears' Den Saturday night in front of a crowd of screaming - very loudly - children. It was those children that brought Scott back to town. No, not just to hear them shout whenever he slams home a 2, but to help out the ones who need him.

16/05/06 - "8th Wonder" making most of professional life
In September 2005 Antwan "8th Wonder" Scott finally got the break he'd been waiting for. The problem was, it happened on one of the worst days of his life. While attending his aunt's funeral, Scott received a call from his agent, notifying him he was selected to play professional basketball in Turkey. The Wake Forest graduate grappled with mixed emotions. "I got the call saying (I) had to leave in a couple of days,' Scott said. 'I was like, "My aunt just died." The New Bern native worked through his grief and decided to take the offer. "I still know I've got a job to do, and I still know I've got to live my life as well," Scott said. "I didn't like getting that call at that time, but I knew what I had to do."
