I just recently interview NBA player Nik Stauskas. He was very nice and answered all my questions very thoroughly. My questions for him were…
- Who or what inspired you to dedicate your life to basketball

- Did you ever envision a difference career
- *Where there any particularly hard challenges that you faced during your career
- *What did you like the best about being an NBA player and What did you like the least about being an NBA player
- *What do you think are the differences are between the NBA and the WNBA
- If you weren’t an NBA player what would you be doing
- Do you have any advice for kids who want to play in the NBA
- When did you start taking interest in the sport of basketball
- *How do you think your career would be effected if you were drafted by another team instead of the Kings
- Whats your favorite aspect of basketball
- Who was your favorite coach from your entire life
- What was your favorite team to play on and why
- Who introduced you to basketball
- If you were able to choose what team you played on where would you go
- *Who do you think is going to win MVP this year
- Which team do you think is going to win the NBA championship
- What is it like to be an NBA player
20. Who do you think are the top 5 greatest NBA players of all time and why
Nik as an actual person was very nice but there were some things that he said that I would disagree with…
When I asked him “Who do you think is going to win MVP this year?” He responded by saying “I think Westbrook is going to win but I personally think that Lebron James deserves it”. It got even worse when I asked him who do you think is going to win the championship this year? He awnsered by saying “I think the Cav’s are going to win”. (Most of you know that I am a warriors fan and that the warriors lost to the Cav’s in the finals last year Cough* Cough* Rush. As a warriors fan I was deeply offended.) But somehow it got worst when I asked him my final question. “Who do you think are the top 5 greatest NBA players of all time and why?”. He answered by saying I am going to put Jordan at #1 but if Lebron won another championship I will put Lebron at #1. His top 5 was so twisted that he didn’t even put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in it. Thank you for reading, Hope you enjoy! P.S. Boo Cav’s!
