His older siblings are Greg, who played college basketball for North Carolina, and Ben, who died when he was only 28 years old.

In his first season, he helped them win the National Title again. Currently, he is expected to be the starting point guard for the Toronto Raptors. Besides being an excellent basketball player, Tyler Hansbrough has been praised for his work ethic and character. He has always been considered one of the best two-way players in NCAA history.
