It has been a format so far to hire retired players into the broadcast realm to increase the viewership rates of shows. Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley are the ones to top the list and ever since they paved the way, many other post-game shows are looking for the right retired star. Well, a Miami Heat legend has announced his arrival to the television world by flexing the offers he has received so far. ESPN has added a set of new hosts and has made a lot of changes for the upcoming season. Looks like other television channels are looking to do the same.?

The 43-year-old Miami Heat legend is yet to make a choice but he spoke about this new journey ahead.?

3-time Heat champion all set to join Charles Barkley?

During the Heat’s incredible playoff run, this legend played his final season. The man who has won been on every title-winning Miami team was looking to add ring number 4.

Barely a few months removed from this feat,?Haslem has already teased the next chapter of his career.

In an interview, the 43-year-old shared,?“It?s something I have the personality for, I have the knowledge to do… So I figured I would get my feet wet and learn the ropes and get into it.”?
