Talking basketball & life with Louisville basketball great Alvin Sims

Alvin Sims is well-known for being one of Louisville basketball’s greatest all-time dunkers, but as his college career progressed, he emerged as one of the leaders on a Cardinal squad that snapped an 11-year Elite Eight drought in the 1997 NCAA Tournament.

In his final two seasons of his Louisville career, Sims averaged 11.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg, and 2.5 steals per game, meanwhile shooting 48-percent from the field. He is one of the school’s all-time leaders in career steals and ranks third in career dunks.

I sat down with the Kentucky native to cover a spectrum of topics, past present, and future, ranging from his college years to the current team, weight loss, and even quarantine activities.
