When asked to think about iconic moments in NBA history today, some of us automatically think about dunks. Vince Carter’s 2000 Dunk Contest will certainly not be forgotten for a long time.

On August 21, Lee Branscome, Toyloy Brown, and I interviewed Tyson Ward, a 6-foot-6 forward from North Dakota State. We discussed the highlights of his college career, the strengths and weaknesses of his game, and his recent signing with s.Oliver Baskets of the German BBL.
