Ryan Hollins NBA TV Analyst on How to Get More Out of Life
Houston Rockets. Los Angeles Clippers. ESPN. SportsCenter. First Take. Ice Cubes Big 3 League…
All Have this One 7-Foot Point of View!
And He is NOT Afraid to Speak His Mind.
He Made Headlines in the Studio with Shaquille O Neal Sitting Across from Him Discussing the Mt. Rushmore of the Lakers…
A 10 Year NBA Veteran.
Father of Four…
His Dunks and TV personality have blanketed the greater basketball community.
He identified who it was that had the biggest impact on basketball television and commentary…
Mark Jackson, Jalen Rose, and Stephen A. Smith and went to work relentlessly on matching and mirroring what they did to be great off the court and to his surprise wasn’t too far behind after investing an unimaginable amount of hard work and humility to the process.
Here’s a snippet he shares in the show…regarding the above three TV Icons.
“So I was like, how do they do that? What do they do? When it's a slow day? How does it work? How do they attack? How do they work behind the scenes?
How did Jalen get the Jalen and Jacoby show?
How did Mark Jackson, why is he smooth? Does he bash players? Is he honest with his players? Does he uplift guys? Is he too positive? When is he critical? When is he not?
Stephen A, you know, when does he raise his voice? When does he come out calm? When does he walk in a room? What's his presence like?”
If they were willing to share, or if those closest to the action were kind enough to help another one climb the ladder, you better believe this man was there to study and grow…
He found himself in continuously discovering his next best self, he loved to put his teammates before himself, and he was willing not to sell his soul in the process to remain true to his identity.
It was HIS SHOW!
In fact, during our interview, he shares what the NBA provided him to help transition into the current profession that he performs in today…
His name is Ryan Hollins.
Here are a few mentions he makes during our conversation…
“I start understanding the content business.”
“A great leader, coach, however you wanna put it, gets the most out of each and every person.”
“I had to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.”
He’s no standard sized man, physically or mentally, the man with something to say has brought his communication skills and life lessons, plus stories right onto the Always on the GROW podcast basketball court here. The Audio and Video court that is.
He leads with mentioning that priorities lead. With moving and taking a new courtside commentating role in Houston, the family is on the move…
“It's a different lifestyle because I'm traveling in the NBA again, but I don't have the same responsibility.”He says.
This is a great conversation that Ryan comes to us from his hotel in Miami during a week they played the Miami Heat, we communicate around depth, strength of progress, and we get into some 3 point territory.
He has had many spotlight and game winning opportunities, and that was how we treated this interaction, like the game was on the line and we want you to win.
Later on we even delve into leadership, and a few key things he has learned about it from being around so many top coaching from around the world, you won’t want to miss a few of these crucial comments he makes…
Ryan and I have explored other business together and know a champions way of operating and were thankful he was so willing to jump in and share here…
You’re going to hear his first take on a few of these:
The flow he followed during his time at ESPN…
How he discovered the next chapter in his life
His thoughts on the power of debate and the boundaries he operates within while doing so
Ryan isn’t only an NBA TV Personality, he is a gentle giant with heart and compassion, he’s a continued go getter, a man who puts the family interest first, and has the boldness and work ethic to rise to the occasion and get what he sets his mind to!
