WRAL has more on the NC State forward:
"DeShawn likes to make up words and it's funny because we don't know what they mean and he swears they're in the dictionary," Howell said. "Animalize is one of the words he came up with, one day we were at Taco Bell and he said 'I'm gonna animalize this taco' and we are all looking around saying what do you mean and he says 'I'm about to kill this taco' and he swears it's in the dictionary."
That's what I like to hear. Just don't eat too many tacos, DeShawn. We're goin' up tempo this year.
In fact animalize is in the dictionary (there's also a Kiss album by that name), though he is breaking new ground in terms of the word's definition.
