Sudbury Five superfan Robert McCarthy chats with Evan Harris, who spent three seasons with the Five, on his retirement from the sport that has dominated much of his life
After three seasons with the Sudbury Five and solid career in pro basketball, Evan Harris is hanging up his sneakers. He sat down recently with Sudbury Five superfan Robert McCarthy to talk about Sudbury, Northern Ontario and life after basketball.A: I am from Los Angeles, and my wife is from North Bay, a small town in Northern Ontario I had never heard of before. We met each other when I was playing in Portugal, and the connection just organically happened. I played against Logan in Germany.
Q: Did the fans in Sudbury lift up your spirits after a particularly tough game when the result wasn’t what you wanted? A: Absolutely. The fans we had and the dedication that they have is second to none. Hearing and seeing the fans, and it was growing year by year, it definitely brought a smile to my face. The scoreboard doesn’t always reflect the way I want it to. I left it all out there, and getting that support and seeing the same people and 10 new people in the autograph line, definitely helps when the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the way you want it to.
