Another Ed O'Bannon sighting, this time as a broadcaster

We've talked quite a bit about Ed O'Bannon over the years here at BIAH. It started in the summer of 2008 when we did a "Where Are They Now?" segment on him. He was a brief internet sensation as the Washington Post followed suit this summer, catching up with O'Bannon the used car salesman.

But that was far from all we would hear about O'Bannon.

There was the video last summer where he responded to Lil' Wayne's line "I'll leave you missin' like the f-in O'Bannons."

Then Ed became the lead plaintiff for a group suing the NCAA because they can make money off the likenesses and successes of former college players.

Then, O'Bannon made headlines as he became a high school coach at the Henderson School in Nevada.

Now?

Yesterday, O'Bannon made his debut as a broadcaster, doing color commentary for HoopTV as they covered the Las Vegas Invitational.

O'Bannon is college hoops royalty. He won the 1995 national player of the year award after leading UCLA to their 11th national title. He would go on to be the 9th pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, but injuries derailed his NBA career. After bouncing around the world playing in various professional leagues, O'Bannon retired and finally settled in Nevada, becoming a car salesman.

We're glad to see O'Bannon back involved in college hoops. We loved him at UCLA.

We didn't get a chance to see O'Bannon's broadcast. Did anyone? How did he do?
