Reggie Williams may have just started his NBA career but could he be gunning to be the next Jim Barnett? Or at the very least, maybe he could be the next Ahmad Rashad of "Inside Stuff"?
In recent trends on television, professional athletes have extended their respective sports careers by becoming color commentators for many media outlets. It seems to make sense given their experience in the game and their close relationships to players, still.
