Elliott Joins ESPN As NBA Analyst
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- Former player Sean Elliott is joining ESPN to work as an analyst on its NBA coverage. Elliott retired last year after 12 NBA seasons, including a comeback after a kidney transplant. A two-time All-Star, he averaged 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 11 seasons with San Antonio and one with Detroit. Elliott served on the Spurs' radio-TV crew in 1999-00 while recuperating from his kidney transplant. He later did free-lance work as a studio analyst for TNT during the NBA playoffs. "We view Sean as one of the promising young analysts in the country," ESPN executive VP Steve Anderson said Monday. Elliott will call NBA games on Fridays for ESPN. He starts work for the company this week at the World Basketball Championships. The NBA's new six-year TV rights deals with ESPN, ABC and TNT start this season.
