GREG ANTHONY
ESPN Analyst
One of the most respected and knowledgeable players of his time, former NBA guard Greg Anthony joined ESPN in November 2002 as a studio analyst for the network's NBA coverage. He appears on all of ESPN and ESPN2's NBA studio shows -- NBA Shootaround, a half-hour pre-game studio program leading into the Friday doubleheaders, the update segments during Wednesday night game telecasts, and ESPN2's NBA Fastbreak and NBA Fastbreak Tuesday.
Anthony joined ESPN after 12 seasons in the NBA. Selected by the New York Knicks as the 12 th pick overall in the 1991 NBA draft, Anthony played for seven teams; Knicks, Vancouver Grizzlies, Seattle Supersonics, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks. His 130 consecutive games with an appearance remains the Blazers longest streak.
Anthony was well known in the league for his defense and on-the-court toughness as well as his ability to bring out the best in his teammates. A natural leader and mentor, Anthony captained the Grizzlies from 1994 to '96 and now serves as the first vice president for the National Basketball Players Association (2000-present).
Anthony was the co-captain of the 1990 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship team, the UNLV Rebels. The next season, he led the Rebels through the season without a loss before falling to the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA title game.
In college, Anthony was a national vice chairman for the Young Republicans (1989-91). In the summer of 1989, he interned on Capitol Hill for U.S. Rep. Barbara Vucanovich (R-Nev.). Anthony was appointed by President George Bush in 1990 to serve as a special assistant to the Ambassador of the Economic World Summit (G-7) in Houston, Texas.
From teamwork & communication to politics & social awareness, Anthony's charisma and intellect make him one of the most popular guest speakers in the country.
