Blake Griffin is currently in discussions regarding a significant broadcasting opportunity with Amazon Prime Video, which is set to begin airing NBA games in the 2025-2026 season.
Sources suggest that Griffin could potentially become “the face” of Prime’s NBA coverage, taking on a role similar to that of Charles Barkley on TNT, who is known for his charismatic presence and insightful commentary.
As negotiations continue, it remains unclear whether Griffin will serve as a game analyst, providing commentary during live broadcasts, or as a studio analyst, where he would offer insights and analysis before, during, and after games.
In addition to Amazon, Griffin has garnered interest from major networks like NBC and ESPN, indicating that his broadcasting appeal is recognized across the industry.
Since announcing his retirement from professional basketball this past April, Griffin has been exploring various opportunities, with many in the media landscape eager to secure his talent for their programming.
“A lot of people are very interested in him,” stated one insider, emphasizing Griffin’s rising profile in sports media.
“Blake is making the rounds,” suggesting that he is actively meeting with different networks to evaluate his options and find the best fit for his post-playing career.
