Emerald: Besides basketball, what’s the greatest advantage of being seven-feet tall?
Schafer: It’s easy to change light bulbs.
Emerald: Aaron Brooks said you are the worst one to sit next to on the plane rides (because Schafer talks so much), who do you think is the worst person to sit next to?
Schafer: I’d like to get him back with some smart comment but I don’t think I can. I guess I could get him back. It’d probably be Aaron Brooks because he doesn’t like to talk. He would rather have his headphones on and listen to music than talk about trees and walks in the woods.
Emerald: You are a fan favorite on campus, how do you want your legacy to be remembered?
Schafer: That I was all about the team. I’m not about me. I’m about my teammates. That’s what I want to be remembered as…a good teammate.
Emerald: What’s the best thing about being Ray Schafer?
Schafer: I have an open mind so there’s not a lot of mental barriers I put on myself. I approach things that, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Emerald: What’s your favorite thing to do in Alaska?
Schafer: Go for walks in the woods with my family.
