Matt Barnes Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Matt Barnes played professional basketball for 14 seasons in the NBA and was a world champion with the Golden State Warriors. Known as one of the most outspoken, explosive athletes of his generation, Barnes flourished on the court with his iconic trash-talking, “me-against-the-world” attitude. He has now taken that same mentality to his ventures off the court in both business and entertainment, which has elevated him to be one of the most powerful forces in sports media. After retiring in 2017, Barnes transitioned to a premier NBA analyst on ESPN and teamed up with former NBA player Stephen Jackson to debut Showtime’s All the Smoke podcast.
