One of the great things about NBA basketball is that it brings out the phenomenal personalities of so many athletes. Players like Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and so many more have managed to shine in the spotlight in their own way.
Even non-superstars have managed to let their eccentricities bring an added element to the game, like Nick Young and Metta World Peace. Now we are seeing many athletes develop careers in broadcasting after their playing days are over, largely because they built a brand for themselves over the years, like the outspoken Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.
