FM: First you can give me a little background info on you as far as where you are from, and your current place of residence.
KT: My name is Kammron H. Taylor. I was born in Chicago, Ill and raised in Minneapolis, MN. I currently live on the Island of Cyprus (located of the country of Greece). My residency changes year to year. I play professional basketball at one of the highest european levels. I've lived in Barcelona, Paris, Turkey in years past. This is my 4th year as a Pro. I attended The University of Wisconsin-Madison for 4 years. I am the youngest of 5 children.
FM: When did you first start playing professional basketball? Was that your initial interest or did it just call fall into place
KT: I first started playing basketball when I was 8 years old, my first sport in fact was Tennis which I began a year earlier. I got into baskeyball because of my older brother and the rest was history. I was always the youngest kid on every team I played on until I reached the 11th Grade, by that time I was already into my 3rd year starting Varsity. One of my greatest accomplishments would be when I scored a MN state 5th grade record of 77 points in one game, but enough of braggin!! lol
FM: Tell me about your ent company?
KT: Right now I have a fairly new Entertainment Company called NewClassic Ent... A list of events on my companies portfolio:
- I with the help of Decarlos Love and Kerek Taylor put together a Christmas/Charity event in the winter of '09 in Minneapolis (Envy Nightclub)
-Hosted a special Thursday event put on by "Big E" of Big E entertainment in the summer of '09 (The Lounge)
-Put together one of the more successful Hip Hop Freestyle events in Minneapolis in the summer of '10 (Elixir Lounge)
Entertainment is definetly a place I see myself in life after basketball, but for now I try my hardest to put it right at the top of my list, because Im passionate about Ball and Entertainment. I most recently brought a new partner in, his name is Bruce Williams a friend I have known for many years and consider a brother. He will definetly bring a different yet very positive aspect to the Company.
FM: Tell people about your basketball camp where its held and what's its designed to promote?
KT: I have a Annual Basketball Camp I put together every summer for the city of Minneapolis. One thing people LOVE about my camp is that it is FREE, yes, I said FREE. I've been fortunate enough to have great people working together with me to make it such a great success. This will be my 3rd summer running it. I have had well over 350 kids the last 2 years, and look to make the a bigger number this summer. I've had the opportunity to be sponsored in years past by the likes of Adidas,Vitamin Water,Powerade, Joe Sensers Restaurant etc...I pretty much do the camp to show our youth that there is alot out there in the world if they just work hard and that sports can be a great avenue to great success, not only in sports but in the opportunity to travel the world, make connections for life with people you may have never thought you would cross. That's what this sport has done for me.
FM: What team do play for and describe that aspect of life environment etc?
KT: Currently I play for Keravnos, one of the top teams in my current country. They have a very rich history as an organization. They compete in The Top Cyprus league as well as Eurochallenge, where we compete against other top teams across europe. Europe in the beginning was a culture shock for me 4 years ago. Everything closes early and opens late, the food, the languages, the night life, the people...I have learned to embrace the different cultures I have come across and I actually love living in europe. if I had to choose, Spain would be my favorite Country.
FM: Where do you draw your inspiration from?
KT: Athletically, I draw my inspiration from my older brother (Kerek Taylor) and Kobe Bryant. Entertainment wise, I definetly draw it from Sean Combs.
FM: What are your future all around goals?
KT: My future all around goals are to be the best person, friend, father, son, brother I know I can be and the rest will take care of itself
FM: What artist in the music industry are you currently feeling?
KT: At this moment I would say Im feeling, J. Cole, Weezy, and Kanyeeeze

FM: What's your favorite place to chill where you live?
