Bay City's Nick Simpson takes his basketball show on the road with Harlem Ambassadors

Nick Simpson always whoops it up when he hoops it up. So it was no stretch for him to become a showman on the basketball court. With his exuberant personality, effervescent smile and energetic game, the former Bay City All Saints standout is a perfect fit for the Harlem Ambassadors. “He lights up whenever he’s out there. You can always tell he’s so proud to be out on that court,” said Carrie Gonzales, Simpson’s aunt and super fan. “Basketball’s always been his thing.” After a whirlwind senior season at Vermont Tech that rocketed Simpson to all-American status in 2010-11, he found the ideal place to continue his basketball career. On the recommendation of his college coach, he signed with the Ambassadors, a touring basketball troupe that performs more than 200 family-friendly shows across the nation each year.
