Former Miami Heat forward Shane Battier has joined ESPN as a basketball studio analyst. He retired following the 2014 NBA Finals after a 13-year NBA career. Battier played with the Miami Heat for the last three seasons and helped the franchise capture two NBA championships in 2012 and 2013 along with an Eastern Conference title in 2014. He also received the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award for the 2013-14 season.
Following winning the NCAA National Championship with Duke University in 2001, Battier was selected sixth overall in the 2001 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. He played his first five seasons there and was named to the 2002 NBA All-Rookie team. Battier was dealt to the Houston Rockets in June 2006 and was rewarded second team All-Defensive honors in 2008 and 2009. The Rockets dealt him back to Memphis in February 2011 to finish the season.
