Hot Shot Branch is in his sixth season with the Globetrotters.  A two-time, second-team all-conference selection at Baylor, Hot Shot is the sixth leading scorer in school history.  He is second on the school’s all-time list for three-pointers made in a career (267) and in one season (104).  He graduated with a degree in Communications.

Hot Shot recalls a special moment as a Globetrotter before a game in Waco, Texas.  There was a young boy in attendance that was very ill, and Hot Shot reached out to him before the game and played with him for a while.  Two days later, the boy passed away, but Hot Shot was glad he could make the boy smile during his final days.

Some may be surprised to know that Hot Shot is a self-taught DJ.  He has always had an ear for music, and when listening to other DJs, he is often thinking about what song would be a great one to come next.  He has his own equipment and has been a DJ at weddings, dances, restaurant openings and other events in his hometown of Houston.  He would love to try his hand at being a DJ on the radio sometime.

Hot Shot looks to his father and grandfather for guidance and inspiration and is involved with a community project called the Project Hoops Basketball Organization.  He is also interested in becoming a probation officer following his playing career.
