Bobby Capobianco models his game after Kevin Garnett.

Loveland (Cincinnati) power forward Bobby Capobianco has grown accustomed to banging bodies in the paint with some of the best athletes around the country. Rated the No. 100 senior on the ESPNU 100, the 6-foot-8 bruiser averaged 20.1 points, 11 rebounds and 2.4 blocks and made the FAVC All-Conference first team. Capobianco demands attention on the court, and between drills he tells us about the five athletes who impress him most.

1. Tiger Woods -- professional golfer
"I like the way he attacks the game of golf and prepares himself. Yeah, he wins everything. But the adversity he faces, I just admire it."

2. Kevin Garnett -- Boston Celtics
"The style I play mirrors a lot of what Kevin does. The way he hustles -- he's going full out all the time. He works so hard for everything."

3. Michael Phelps -- Olympic swimmer
"A guy who swims for five hours a day, that is just so much dedication. You would never see me in a pool for five hours. It's something to get inspired by."

4. Chrissie Capobianco -- sister
"She plays volleyball, swims and does some competitive dancing. She hasn't found her niche yet, but she's ridiculously talented. She is willing to learn and goes all out."

5. Brian Wozniak -- best friend
"He grew up a basketball guy but realized football was his thing. It's been unreal how much he's improved over the last two years. The kid is so positive. He's always had my back."
