    Interestingly, he's not the only one on the Heat with that accolade. I wonder how many NBA players are champions at both levels.

    Who else is, just Chalmers?

    Anyway, it'll be sad when Battier retires. One of the real good guys. I'll miss seeing him in the NBA.

    I think he will have great insight but not the enthousiasm and voice to be a good commentator, but hope he proves me wrong.

    This guy had jobs handed to him, not surprised at all.

    Shane would be a good successor to Craig Sager as the goofy sideline interviewer.

    College hoops coverage is about to get intangible!
