Gary Hines (born March 21, 1984) is an American handball player who plays professionally in Germany.
Hines began to play handball at 14 years old, in Atlanta because he was too short for basketball.[1] Between 2009 and 2010 he played for DJK Waldbüttelbrunn in the Bayernliga.[2] In 2010 he moved to HSC Bad Neustadt and has played in the 3. Liga since.[3]
National team
He scored 12 goals in his first international game for Team USA. The next day there was an article "The Hangtime Hines Show" which resulted in his nickname "Hangtime Hines".[1]
Private life
Hines' mother had drug and alcohol problems and never told his father that he has a son.
Between the age of 7 and 14 he grew up in foster care.
At 14 Hines began to live with one family, who he references as the reason for his success.[1]
