* He also played for the Spanish national team under 15, under 17 and absolute. European Championship u15 in 1985, bronze medal in 1991 with Spain.
On this episode you I talk to Mike about his origins, how he became the first Spaniard ever to play in NCAA Division I basketball, we talked about his teammates at LSU (Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Jackson aka Abdul Rauf, Stanley Roberts, Gert Hammik...), his "brother" Sergio Luyk (rip), the European Championships, Estudiantes, Valladolid, Huelva, Caceres, the ACB, Germany and also his final years in the EBA league. Plus Mike tells me what he has been up to since retirement, his brief stint as CB Valladolid president and how busy he is with the Spaniards learning English.
He is also an excellent person. I met him when I was a child and he was a star in a summer camp. He was truly inspirational, together with Sergio Luyk and Lalo Garcia. It is impressive how good he was at certain aspects of the game. I hope he can place CB Valladolid on the first division again as he is doing a great work with them now as the club president.

I had the pleasure of watching him play on several occasion. Mike is a personable individual who has lived basketball from a youmg age. He is an ace on the court with a basketball IQ that is remarkably unbelievable. He was like that from his a young age all the way through his career. I think there was a lot Mike Hansen brought to the ACB and other leagues he played in. An incredible player.

ReplyDeleteI had the opportunity to know Mike at University Heights Academy in Hopkinsville, KY. Everyone enjoyed him. He is not only a tremendous athlete, but also an exceptional student (NHS). Later, I attended his college games as did several UHA people. Although I am younger, UHA is a family atmosphere. Eventually, I completed 2 degrees from Vanderbilt University (SEC school). Mike was a fierce competitor against great players. As a medical professional, I encountered Derrick Wilcox, a former Louisville PRP high school stand out and Vanderbilt player. He held Mike in high regard as a player and person as well. Anyone in the US who enjoyed real college basketball remembers Mike's contributions!
