An Americanized Bloke

What makes one of Australia’s most popular athletes tick? Lots of American things, apparently…

West Coast Eagles ruckman Dean Cox (who’ll be trying to lead his team to the Australian Football League final tomorrow night) was Q and A’d for The Sun-Herald’s September 9 K-Zone section. So much of what he said revolved around our little ol’ country:

“What music are you pumping?
Everything at the minute. I love my iPod.”

“Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever met?
Probably Jamie Foxx when I was in America last year.”

“If you could trade places with anyone for a day who would you choose and why?
Michael Jordan because I have admired him ever since he started playing basketball. Also, a dream of mine was to play in the NBA.”

Yeah…the kid must really love all things American. I mean, who doesn’t?
