After a stellar standout career at St. Johns University, located in Queens NY, where he averaged 18.3 points under Head Coach Steve Lavin, Dwight Hardy took his talents to Italian club Pistoria where he averages 22.6 points per game. I recently sat down with Dwight to talk about life and basketball.

I was able to chat with MarShon Brooks about his rookie season, how he grew as a player and what he is going to do this season to expand his game.

Alan Anderson chatted with me about being signed for the remainder of the season, what Dwane Casey having faith in him means and how big Toronto’s wins over Atlanta and Boston this weekend were to the team.

I was able to chat with Ed Davis about his recent strong play, his plans for the summer improving his game, his recent boost in confidence and how working with Coach Davis has helped his game.

Avery Bradley chatted with me about Boston’s defense being vastly improved since the All-Star break, how important this summer is to his development and how high his confidence is right now.

DeMar DeRozan chatting about his five-game scoring streak where he has averaged 21.8, being more aggressive to draw fouls and Dwane Casey wanting him to grow into a role as a “closer” in the fourth quarter.

I was able to chat with Justin Dentmon before his debut as a Toronto Raptor about trying to learn a team’s offence on the fly, what he has done to learn Dwane Casey’s sets and why Toronto was the ideal team for him to land on.

Tristan Thompson chatted with me about how he feels he has grown as a player this season, why Tim Duncan and Paul Pierce have been so effective during the twilight of their careers and what area of his game he is currently working on improving.

I was able to chat with Ben Uzoh after Toronto’s win about the opportunity he has for playing time in Toronto and how tough it is as a point guard to join a team mid-season.

Sitting on the sidelines during pre-game warmups the fact Iman Shumpert was shooting around with Allan Houston grabbed my attention. Once locker rooms opened for media, I chatted with Shumpert about what he’s learning from working with Houston and how his rookie season in the NBA has challenged him to grow as a player.
