    Michigan Wolverines | Fab Five | Fred “Freddie” Hunter | Tales from the Bench

    Fred Hunter,  spins a basketball tale unlike any other. In a matter of three years, Hunter went from playing intramural hoops at Michigan to earning a walk-on spot with the Wolverines to grabbing a starting slot to then captaining the 1991 Michigan squad that made its memorable run to the national title game against Duke. Oh, and he did it all while battling spina bifida, a condition that stirred persistent back issues.

    SLAM's Official Archivist | Sammy Gunnell | Hardwood History


    There are so many avenues to being involved in the basketball universe. I was doing research for an interview and overheard Dennis Page talking about an Instagram account that was documenting the entire history of SLAM Magazine. I loved this idea and reached out. In doing so I found out that Sammy had become the official archivist for SLAM. I love someone turning a passion project into a contribution to the community. His knowledge of SLAM and the story of how he turned an Instagram account into a job is a story you'll enjoy.

    Nick Depaula former Editor-In-Chief and Creative Director at Sole Collector Magazine and now at ESPN as a NBA feature writer.

    Let’s go to Josh to start things off.  

    College Basketball Fashion:

    +First REAL pair of basketball kicks you remember getting as a kid?

    -Why does that pair stand out?

    -Growing up, what pair got away that you still think about?

    -Has the industry boomed because of just that?  We all grew up, started making our own money and wanted to get the pairs we didn’t have?  

    -Is there a next generation for that or will the shoe bubble burst?  Will collabs take the place of retros or have they already?  

    -What’s the future of the sneaker industry look like to you?

    Turning a Hobby/Passion into a Job

    -Did you ever think you would be covering shoes/sports fashion as a job?

    -Favorite moments.

    -Advice to anyone out there that wants to get into this as a job.

    Greatest Sneakers of College Basketball Past

    -What’s the first pair of shoes that come to mind when we talk college basketball?

    -Is there a shoe that you think is very underrated as an all time college basketball or just basketball sneaker?

    - Was there ever a watershed moment for sneakers in the college game?  Where the sneakers shined as much as the team wearing them?

    - Who are some of the most influential teams when it comes to a history of wearing great shoes?

    - Has college basketball ever had a PJ Tucker that people tuned into games just to see what they were wearing that night? 

    - In your opinion will we ever have another Arizona ‘97 shoe moment in college basketball?

    Your Basketball Utopia

    -In your personal Hardwood Heaven what shoe has to be worn in there?  The gates open, Dr Naismith greets you as you enter, you immediately look down to see what he is wearing and it’s (fill in the blank with the shoes of your choice)

    Joe Hillman | Indiana Hoosiers | 1987 National Championship | The Big Trip

    Joe Hillman | Indiana Hoosiers | 1987 National Championship | The Big Trip


    Hardwood Heaven

    Our guest today, Joe Hillman, was Robert Montgomery Knight’s first recruit west of the Mississippi, Co-Founder of TrustWealth Strategies. Member of Indiana's last Championship team in 1987 and Endorsed by Coach Knight in his Senior Day Speech as the most valuable player in the Big Ten. I am going to throw it to Josh to kick things off with Joe. 

    +Tell us your basketball origin story.  

    -How did you fall in love with the game?

    -Any Playground Basketball Stories

    -What’s it like being recruited by Bob Knight?

    -Why did you end up choosing Indiana and was there anywhere else that you really considered going?

    +Indiana 1987

    -His recollections of being on the floor for Keith Smart’s shot.

    -What people also get wrong about what it was like to be coached by Bob Knight.

    -What Joe overheard Bob Knight say after the game that will stick with him forever.

    -Why the genius of Bob Knight’s strategy to beat UNLV in the 1987 Final Four actually started five days before the game.

    -What Joe overheard Bob Knight say after the game that will stick with him forever.

    -In 1987 when Indiana was making their National championship tournament run, a radio station in Evansville Indiana (96 STO) played a song originally written by The Box Tops called “The Letter”. A group from southern Indiana called Furry Head and the Favorites re-wrote the song and titled it “Stevie Shoot a 3-Pointer”. Were you guys aware of the song? And have you heard it? (Cassie’s Question)

    +Indiana Career

    -The Big Trip were you on that China trip and what was it like? What did you think of the documentary?

    - It is halftime of a Big Ten game against Minnesota last month and Indiana is trailing by six.

    Coach Bob Knight, not a happy Hoosier, locks his team out of the locker room. It is up to Hillman, a senior with five years’ experience of dealing with such predicaments, to keep the situation under control. Indeed, the eyes of a dozen teammates show that they are counting on him to do so.

    -With Mugsy Bogues the Author of Dunbar Boys said he was able to dominate a game with his leadership. Do you feel you had the ability to take over the game with leadership. 

    -Who was the toughest person to guard during your time in the Big Ten there were some tough dudes at your position. Nick Anderson, Glen Rice, etc
