CNN announced Tuesday former NBA player Rex Chapman will join the network as a host on its upcoming streaming subscription service.

Chapman, 54, is most known for his social-media presence, where he consistently posts a range of positive, and often light-hearted, videos to his 1.1 million followers on Twitter.

He was also the host of Adult Swim's Block or Charge, a show based off his viral tweets, and an NBA podcast, The Rex Chapman Show.

Much like Chapman's social-media presence, CNN announced he will host a weekly show that focuses on positive news.
