🎙️ In this special Hawks Hangout episode, Sam and Corey sit down with NBL1 Illawarra Hawks star Matt Mims—the electrifying guard who’s quickly become a fan favorite on and off the court.
Mims opens up about everything from his basketball roots in Iowa to his college grind at South Dakota State, adjusting to life in Wollongong, and how he ended up playing side-by-side with his Aussie girlfriend Sophie.
We chat about:
🏀 His love of 94-feet defense and deep threes
🔥 Playing against stars like Tyrese Haliburton and Tyler Herro
💪 His journey from getting cut in high school to earning a D1 scholarship
💬 What it's like coaching local kids, dealing with slumps, and bringing the energy every night
💍 Whether a halftime proposal is on the cards (spoiler: he laughs it off... for now)
With charisma, humility, and a ton of game, "Slim Shady" Mims is exactly the kind of player Hawks fans rally behind.
