The Scarlet Spotlight is thrilled to be joined by former Rutgers All-American basketball player Roy Hinson for Episode 62 of the podcast. Hinson, who is second all-time in blocks in RU history, led the Scarlet Knights to the 1983 NCAA Tournament (their last win in the NCAAs) as Atlantic 10 Player of the Year. He discussed his path to Piscataway, which included time in Trenton, Princeton and Franklin, as well as why he never expected a life in basketball. Hinson then dives into his time as a player in the NBA, which spanned 8 years and more than 7,000 points, as well as an appearance in the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest. He also touches on his current job with the National Basketball Players Association as a Senior Regional Director in Florida, advising players on financial strategy. Before and after the interview, Danny and Jon run through feedback on the Gov. Murphy episode, recap the Hinson interview and discuss the quarantine of the Rutgers football program after 10 positive COVID-19 tests in detail.

Roy Hinson - An Unexpected Life in Basketball (EP.62)

Honorable Mention All-American (1983) and NBA veteran, Roy Hinson.Roy Hinson calls himself a “late bloomer”. His underlying talent – matched with his height – didn’t lay dormant for long. As a senior, his sudden impact on the hardwood helped steer Franklin Township High School to a 25-2 senior season, culminating in the Sectional Championship Game.Roy details the decision making behind his choice to attend Rutgers University, where he became a standout and future Hall of Fame player. Not only did Roy make post-season tournaments in his junior and senior seasons, he also had the opportunity to fly to Europe, twice, representing Team USA (1981 World University Games) and an All-Star squad (1982 National Invitational Tournament tour).Our conversation covers a wide range of topics. We discuss Roy’s early years in the NBA, his appearance in the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest, his trade to Philadelphia – and later, New Jersey, his home state – and the injury concerns that ultimately forced him into an early retirement. The conversation concludes with discussion about Roy’s role at the NBA Players Association, the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend / Legends Brunch and terrific insight into the reasoning behind the jersey numbers that Roy wore throughout his career.Links discussed (include):* Cleveland clinch playoffs berth; despite terrible start to season* 1986 Slam Dunk ContestPeople mentioned include George Karl, World B. Free, Julius Erving, Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Billy Cunningham, Spud Webb, Maurice Lucas, John Bagley and Ralph Sampson.Support: Buy Adam a coffee | Amazon: USA / Australia | Audible | PayPalListen: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | OvercastFollow: Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | FacebookSubscribe (free): NBA-history newsletter[as an Amazon Associate, Adam earns from qualifying purchases - you'll be supporting his podcast at no extra cost]
