What do you do when you retire from the NBA?

You play professional pinball.

God, he must be close to 400 lbs. He seems like a cool guy though.

I'll take this story over him turning into that QB that we never heard of or Travis Henry anyday. That and I'll now aspire to the heights of pro air hockey because of him.

He's gotten even more massive. At least he seems to be enjoying his retirement.

He does seem like a cool guy. It's hard to believe he's just 33.

As stated before, its much better to see him happy, doing something he enjoys, then seeing him up for crack charges and owing child support to 10 women.

Oh, I'm glad he's not in the news for something stupid... I just find him more amusing since he's from Winnipeg and I followed his NBA career a bit because of that.

Hells yes, nice to see a guy enjoying life as much as he seems to be. I've got a feeling if I had the money he does I'd be marching to the beat of a very similar drummer, though probably more along the lines of table hockey

I'd be playing video games and Magic all the time if I didn't have to work. I kind of do that now

Glad to see him enjoying life. We should all be so lucky & not have to work & just enjoy our favorite hobbies.

I've always rooted for McCulloch given him being from Winnipeg, and he's always seemed like a cool guy.

The funniest thing about this video for me, though, was the slurpee machine. I drink at least 1 slurpee every day, and I've joked for years that my lifelong dream is to own a 7-11 slurpee machine (I'd put it in my bedroom so that in the morning I could just lean my head over and pour it straight into my mouth). But beyond the expense (those things are thousands of dollars last I checked), I've always feared I'd end up 300lbs, and this video pretty much proves that is exactly what would happen.

He's my new idol. I dream of having a basement with a pinball machine and a couple of old school video games.
