Jimmer Fredette, Vince Carter & James Johnson interviews – #TexasTour

tomvincecarter

Better late than never! Found a few  interviews that #believethehype did with Jimmer Fredette, Vince Carter & James Johnson from February’s #TexasTour… Unfortunately, due to the busy week we had in Dallas, San Antonio & Houston, the videos were on the cutting room floor until now… However, the audio from Fredette & Carter did appear in the #TexasTour Day 1 Podcast.

Interviews took place on the 13th February after the Sacramento @ Dallas game in which the Mavs won 123-100 in a special night in the career of Vince Carter who scored 26 points to pass Larry Bird on the NBA’s career scoring list.

Benyam & I spoke to Fredette, Carter & Johnson about the game, VC surpassing ‘Larry Legend’, what they were planning on doing for the All Star Break, Valentines Day & more!

NBA All Star Media Day – Ke$ha, Jay-Z/Kanye, Mighty Ducks or Cool Runnings

At Media Day during NBA All Star Weekend, along with asking the serious questions that the players had been asked about 500 times each, we thought we’d delve into some of the more ‘serious’ & ‘burning questions’ that our listeners want to find out…

  • After Russell Westbrook was caught singing Ke$ha on national TV a couple of weeks ago, what female artist would you be caught singing?
  • Jay-Z or Kanye West?
  • Mighty Ducks or Cool Runnings?

Plus, excitingly, we finally put to bed the epic battle that has raged over the last year on the podcast with the MDvCR debate…

Amongst others, #believethehype chat to Kyrie Irving who confirms his next visit to Australia – during the off-season for basketball camps in Melbourne.

Here’s a snippet of some of the “legit” questions that we spoke to the NBA All Stars about… Of course, we also asked our gee-up questions too!
