16-year veteran Elton Brand hints at retirement

Elton Brand , a 16-year NBA veteran, is likely to retire this offseason, according to the Examiner News.

Brand, who appeared in 36 games last season for the Hawks, is a former All-Star who doesn't have much left to accomplish on the basketball court.

"I could get in shape if I got the call but this looks like the end of the run for me, right now it is family time,” Brand said.
