Nazr Mohammed's Life After Retirement      

"Retirement is the beginning of life, not the end," Nazr, after retiring from the NBA on 9 October 2015 is enjoying his retirement to the fullest. 

Retirement was good for the star in the sense that he could see his kids growing up. 

"I never realized how busy their schedules were till now. I was starting to have a lot of fun (I’m serious) being their personal chauffeur — dropping them off and picking them up from school, practices, dance classes, workouts, playdates, sleepovers and all types of other things that I couldn’t get to while I was playing."

He still misses his good old days when he was one of the best players in the NBA. He said: 

"Instead, I’m back in the NBA to pursue an aspect of basketball that has interested me for a long time: the front office."

"As of November 20, I became a professional evaluation scout/identification and intelligence for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I know it’s a mouthful, but essentially I’m going to get a full education in all of the little details needed to make a front office tick."

He truly is a legend!!!!
