Scott Alan Hastings (born June 3, 1960) is an American former player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is currently a sports radio host and commentator for Altitude Sports Radio KKSE 92.5. His career spanned from 1982–1993 and he played forward/center for the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
