After nine seasons with the New York Knicks and a championship ring with the Chicago Bulls, Trent Tucker knows what it takes to play the game at the highest level. He can’t sell you the jumper that got him into the league, but he can set you up with the newest hoops gear on the Web. It’s called Hoopology, and it’s the only way to look ready and feel prepared every time you hit the hardwood.
Tucker is a retired American professional basketball player who played 11 seasons in the American National Basketball Association. After retiring, Tucker worked as a broadcast analyst for Minnesota Timberwolves basketball games. He has also been an active philanthropist; he founded the Trent Tucker Non-Profit Organization in 1998 and has hosted several celebrity golf tournaments to raise money for Minneapolis-area charities. He also has developed a clothing line called “Hoopology” that celebrates the art of basketball. Every year he hosts a poker tournament which features many ex and active NBA players, as well as many professional poker players.
