Well, we could, but since he said this week that he had "nothing left to give" and was retiring, it doesn't sound like it would be a good idea.
ummm, he already signed on with a gig for next season already..... http://thebiglead.com/2014/06/02/shane-battier-will-be-espn-college-basketball-analyst-next-season-after-retiring-from-the-heat/
yeah man he is retiring from basketball. I think he already got a job at some college. Not 100% sure. Its been said for several months that he was retiring, and even on many nationally televised games.
