http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/rox/3777739.html Former Rockets guard Jon Barry, who was told as an eighth grader doing a sportscast for a speech class that he should go into broadcasting, finally will. Barry, who retired as a player last month, will join the Rockets' television broadcasts for the season's last four games. Barry will work with Bill Worrell and Clyde Drexler in the three home games and with Worrell and Matt Bullard in the team's last road game. "It's something I've been thinking about for a long time," Barry said. "I always thought I could talk about the game better than I could play it, so we'll see." Barry played 14 seasons for seven teams, averaging 5.7 points and 2.2 assists per game. The Rockets released Barry on March 1 so that he could sign with another team and still be eligible to be on a postseason roster, but he chose to retire. Barry said he has had preliminary talks with representatives with ESPN and TNT , but that he has no agreements to join the playoff coverage for either network. "(Working with the Rockets' broadcasts) is a great opportunity to have a tape ," Barry said. "Any time you want to get into broadcasting, people want to know if you can do it or not. I'm very thankful to the Rockets for letting me have a chance to do this. I'm looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see Jeff ( Van Gundy) when ( David) Wesley steps out of the layup line to slap me in the back of the head. "The biggest thing I want to do is not state the obvious, but to point out the things most fans will not recognize, find things in there that go unnoticed . There's a lot of little things that Jeff teaches that are very important, things I tried to do in my career." JONATHAN FEIGEN --- 大意說巴里退休，選擇去當主播，之前有申請去TNT和ESPN，後來火箭提供本季最後幾場 比賽中的現場主播機會給他，與滑翔機搭擋；而文中Jon Barry講述JVG和Wesley那段還 蠻幽默的... 希望下個賽季還可以看到老巴里...^^ --
