Great video posted today but the the moment I knew Hurley was tough was when I watched his McDonalds All-American game. https://youtu.be/M7howWaITJw?t=1806
He has several good plays starting at around the 28 minute mark of the video but the main one is at 30:10 where he jumps into the lane to take a charge on Shaq. Giving up 100 pounds and jumps right in front of the guy. He never backed down from anyone.
