Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Antonio Daniels had a mouth that often trumped his talents on the basketball court.
“I don't know if that's a good thing,” Daniels, now 40, joked. “I remember getting in lots of trouble with my mom in the classroom for talking.”
Since retiring in 2011 following a successful 13-year career in the NBA, Daniels has quickly put his talent for talking to good use. The former point guard was announced Thursday as the new analyst on the Thunder Live pregame and postgame shows this season.
Daniels joins the Thunder crew following the departure of Nancy Lieberman, who was on the broadcast since 2012.
