  • INTERVIEW: Stan Fletcher, SlamBall GOAT, Slashers HC, VP of Operations/Player Relations
    Nov 3 2023

    As the off-season pushes on, Sam talks with the guy wearing possibly the most hats in modern SlamBall. Whether it's taking over a head coaching position with weeks till the season starts, being the touchstone for players to talk to management as VP of Player Relations or representing the sport as possibly the Greatest player Of All Time, Stan Fletcher does it all.

    Sam and Stan talk through the latter's career in China, as the Head Training Director for SlamBall Asia as well as his position as a head coach in SlamBall Season 6, including training every player involved.

    I want to thank Stan for his time, and openness when it came to answering questions.

    Each season in the NBA, The Athletic polls basketball players from around the league on a number of pressing topics from that year. If professional basketball has this, why shouldn't SlamBall?

    - Do you plan to return to SlamBall next season, or for any upcoming tournaments?

    - If you had the opportunity to play for a different team going forward, would you take it?

    - Do you feel being a part of SlamBall has created new opportunities for you outside of the sport?

    - Do you feel like you’re part of the “SlamBall Brotherhood” that former players talk about?

    - What do you think about the refereeing from this Season?

    - Who’s the most overrated player in the league to you?
