On Sunday afternoon I had the chance to chat with Sacramento Kings head coach Paul Westphal about when he realized Tyreke Evans would be a special player in the NBA, his thoughts on Kevin Martin and Evans playing together and what he’s enjoyed about his return to coaching in the NBA.

Hoops Addict had the chance to chat with Indiana Pacers rookie A.J. Price about his minutes steadily increasing each month, the toughest part of his transition to the NBA, the role veterans T.J. Ford and Earl Watson have had in his development and the medical issues Jim Calhoun is currently dealing with.

Kayla Harris chatted with Toronto Raptors guard Sonny Weems about why he is placing a greater emphasis on the teams success instead of his own, the importance of not letting up against teams with weaker records and the effect a recent batch of injuries have had on the team.

In the eighth edition of the Hoops Addict Podcast, Rashad and Ryan discuss the 2010 All-Star game roster, hand out awards for MVP, best teams, worst teams, best coach and rookie of the year for the first half of this season.
