Eric Shapiro is a former writer for UMHoops.com who started his own website, How To Talk Basketball (www.howtotalkbasketball.com) where he creates videos and explains basketball terminology and concepts. He talks about growing up around Washington DC, how he became into basketball, his background as a good tennis player, and having season tickets to the Washington Wizards as a kid. Eric explains why he chose to attend the University of Michigan, attending athletic events as a student, and going to the Final Four in 2013 to watch Michigan. He details how he became even more obsessed with the game of basketball after he graduated college, studying the game, developing a high basketball IQ, his time writing for UM Hoops, the detail involved in the articles he wrote by breaking down film, and his active Twitter where he breaks down plays and explains them. Eric then talks about why he started How To Talk Basketball, what it is, what he hopes it achieves, and his thoughts on the Michigan Basketball team so far this season.
