Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Amin Elhassan

Moved back to Sudan at 8-years old and remembers his first time starting to understand sports was watching his dad play in a soccer leagueBecame a basketball fan through watching videos of NBA bloopers and Michael Jordan

Returned to the US at 14-years old and eventually enrolled at Georgia Tech to become an engineer and escape the cold NY wintersSimply choose Georgia Tech because it was in the south and Stephon Marbury and Kenny Anderson had made it there from NY

Early on Amin was NY Knicks fan until he interned with Knicks and saw the dysfunction of the organizationWorked for the Atlanta Hawks while at Georgia Tech and eventually transferred to Arizona State

Eventually was hired by the Phoenix Suns and promoted to Assistant Director of Basketball Operations before leaving to be an NBA Analyst for ESPNCurrently is on multiple shows at ESPN… The Jump, Sportsnation, Sportscenter and on ESPN radio with The Dan Le Batard Show

The biggest change that he’s seen in the NBA is the advent of analytics and how certain teams understand how to use analytics properly

Believes that Charles Barkley is the preeminent NBA Analyst right nowHe owes everything to sports
