John Wall gives broadcasting a try, while still holding out hope for one more NBA shot

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — John Wall was at the G League Winter Showcase last year, trying out, hoping to get back in the game.
He did the same thing this year, without stepping foot on the court.
The No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft and five-time All-Star made his broadcasting debut this weekend, handling the analyst duties for a pair of games at the G League event in Orlando. He has not officially retired as a player but knows the time is coming when he'll have to figure out what to do next, and broadcasting clearly appeals to him.
“I'm always going to critique myself,” Wall said. “I can get a lot better. I'm learning more and more, but for me, it's talking about basketball — what I love to do. It's what I do when I'm home, watching with my friends and kids.”
