Coach Carlisle and center Myles Turner walk together up Madison Square Garden’s circular ramp to the event level, talking about music and their lives off the court. Carlisle saw five-time Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper, a jazz musician and fellow pianist, the night before at the Blue Note in Manhattan. As the pair walked up the ramp, Carlisle asked Turner if he knew of Glasper. Turner wasn’t familiar with his music but told Carlisle he would definitely check him out. “I greatly admire Myles Turner as a guy who has wide-ranging and eclectic taste in music,” Carlisle said. “When he has his music plugged into the sound system in the weight room, you will hear everything from rap to R&B; to country and even Taylor Swift.” -via HoopsHype / November 12, 2024
