This week's guest on The Old Man and The Three podcast is rising Denver Nuggets star, Bones Hyland. This is such a wonderful conversation with someone who we'll be seeing a lot more of in the years to come. But first, JJ and Tommy discuss the criteria for the 'Most Improved Player' award and who they ultimately believe is the favorite right now. Then the guys welcome in Bones Hyland who gives off such an infectious joy about basketball and life. Topics include: why Bones makes music, how he fell in love with basketball, his influences growing up, the viral video of him beating two Philly kids in street ball, he gives us a first-hand account of surviving a tragic house fire and how that changed his entire perspective on life, why he chose to go to VCU, his draft night experience, what it's like being teammates with Nikola Jokic and what he's learned from him, his breakout playoff game last year against The Golden State Warriors, his unorthodox shooting form and so much more.
