Vinney Zambito
Podcast Host
Vinney Zambito’s basketball journey started like everyone else’s… as a fan. But over the years, he’s been able to experience the game in all of its facets. As a player at the collegiate level, as a coach on the sidelines, and now as a podcast host who gets to share his love for the greatest game in the world with the rest of us.
As a former Genesee Region High School Player of the Year and a multi-year starter in the backcourt at Keuka College, Vinney developed a deeper appreciation for the strategy, teamwork, and competitive spirit that define the game he loves. These experiences establish him as a certified bucket-getter and top-tier ball-knower, and they continue to shape the way he watches and discusses hoops today as the co-host of
the NBA Campfire Podcast.

Collin Stucko
Brand Manager
Forged by the fire of the 90s, Collin Stucko fell in love with the game of basketball during the apex of MJ’s reign and never looked back. Like a mother calling a child’s name, basketball spoke to him in a language that can only be felt in the heart, and this passion ignited his personal and professional quests, fueling him ever since.
For Collin, the game of basketball breaks down barriers of race, gender, language, religion and just about anything else that divides us, and the cultural impact of the game can be seen and felt on a global scale in a way that is totally unique. Collin aims to bring his passion for the game and his background in the business of sport and brand to NBA Campfire in order to properly celebrate the most impactful sport ever played…
the game of basketball.

Olive
Mascot
Friendly, attentive, and always eager to lay by your side to watch a basketball game, Olive is the best girl and arguably the most valuable member of the NBA Campfire team. At 14 years old (that’s 98 in dog years), she’s also the oldest, but even at an advanced age, her love for the sport hasn’t diminished even slightly.
When she’s not watching basketball, Olive enjoys going on walks, taking naps, chasing her tail, playing with her many toys, and getting as much human food as she possibly can from Sonny.
