The cream of the crop show their best crossover moves as roles are reversed and interviewer becomes interviewee. In this edition of School of Hardwood Knocks, I had the privilege of interviewing well known NBA.com writer Sekou Smith. Sekou has worked in the field of sports journalism for the last 20 years, covering the Indiana Pacers and then the Atlanta Hawks as a beat reporter for a combined decade. In 2009 he joined NBA.com, and while he is perhaps best known as founder of 'Sekou Smith's Hang Time Blog', he is, in fact, a digital journalism pioneer, instrumental in starting the Hawks Blog for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sekou is one of the most respected writers in the basketball community and it doesn't take long to understand why. On podcasts, he speaks authoritatively, yet the unwavering passion and underlying warmth to his delivery is almost tangible.
