I got hooked up to interview Anthony Morrow in mid-march for an article that I will be writing for another site. Anyone here have any questions that they would like me to ask him?
"Anthony, you thrive on your quick-release three-point shots. With that first-hand experience in mind, why do you constantly fail to close on and challenge opposing outside shooters?" (Congrats on the interview, that's cool!)
Congrats on the gig! I would ask him: "Do you still think you could beat Reggie Miller in a shooting contest?"
"Boxers or briefs?" Wow, that's really cool, Legacy! I would ask him if he believes they should raise the nba age limit because look at how much more polished Anthony Morrow is compared to some of these supposed high upside athletes that are the one and done variety. I think 4 years of college ball did Morrow some good. Sure, he's not the best ball handler or defender, but he's got pretty good basketball talent.
I'd like to know what the pre-draft process was like for him. Were any teams hinting that they might draft him or did he pretty much always figure he was going to go undrafted? Did he get any inquiries from European teams?
(off the record) I'd like to know the players perception on playing on a team as mismanaged as the Warriors. Do they think that they can win in spite of the inept front office? Or do they deep down feel like they need to showcase their individual talents in order to get more money and a chance to win elsewhere through free agency or trades?
Ask him if the team still jokes with Monta about riding mopeds? Favorite place to eat in the Bay Area? What does he hate more playing defense or Ohio State?
What's the most underrated aspect of your game? Who has the best dunks in practice? Who is the funniest person on the team? What will you need to improve to become an all-star?
Any interesting/unusual methods that helped him develop his stroke? What players did he idolize growing up?
Legacy don't be afraid to ask the tough questions. Make sure you don't phrase any questions where he can answer with yes or no or use a typical cliche.
Those glasses broke a long ass time ago. Good questions fellas, I'll try to ask as many of these as I can.
You should stick to a theme/agenda when asking questions. You want to try to get him in a flow of answering certain types of questions. If you just ask him a bunch of questions in shotgun fashion, you probably won't get too much out of him. One question should follow the next so he can tell a story.
My angle is to write an article about how he went undrafted and ended up being one of the best three point shooters in the league. I still want to ask other questions as well.
Set for tomorrow guys. Wish me luck. If I see Chris Cohan, I will kick him where it hurts. Love S2 Warrior fans. jk
