NBC has taken a significant step in building its team for NBA broadcasts by securing former NBA star Jamal Crawford as an analyst for its upcoming basketball coverage.
Crawford, who has gained experience calling games for TNT since retiring from his playing career, will provide analysis during games as part of NBC’s revamped NBA programming.
In addition to Crawford, NBC is reportedly eyeing another high-profile addition: Reggie Miller.
Miller, a Hall of Famer and veteran analyst for TNT, is being considered for a key role on NBC’s top broadcast team for NBA games. This pairing would bring significant star power and insight to NBC’s coverage if finalized.
NBC is set to re-enter the NBA broadcast landscape next season with a robust lineup. Games will stream on Peacock Mondays, followed by national broadcasts on NBC every Tuesday.
Once the NFL season concludes, NBC plans to add Sunday night NBA games to its schedule, creating a comprehensive slate of weekly matchups.
This marks an exciting new chapter for NBC, which has not been a national NBA broadcaster since the 2001-2002 season.
Adding renowned personalities like Crawford and potentially Miller signals the network’s commitment to delivering top-tier basketball coverage.
