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.
