Back in March of 2008, I had the chance to interview Carl English, one of the top stars in Spain’s ACB league and one of Team Canada’s top national players. At the time, we spoke about his journey to that point in his career and what the future might hold for him. After a summer of disappointment with Team Canada and a life-changing experience with the birth of his first child, Carl is enjoying his best season yet overseas, leading Kalise Gran Canaria to 6th place in the ACB with the league’s 6th best scoring total at 17 points per game. I recently got another chance to speak with the ACB’s Player of the Month for January, this time about Team Canada, the effect family will have on his career, and his ongoing dream of making it to the NBA.

This time around, I made the interview exclusive to Hoops Addict. You can check it out here. Please do, it’s a great read, and we Canadians should be supporting our National team and our homegrown talent.

The interview has also been picked up at the Basketball Canada website.

You can keep up with Carl by checking out the ACB website, his EuroBasket page, or the Basketball Canada website.
