Amazon is making a significant push into NBA broadcasting by assembling a star-studded team for its studio and game coverage.
According to Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, legendary players Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin will join Amazon’s NBA studio team, adding their wealth of experience and unique perspectives to the coverage.
They’ll work alongside Taylor Rooks, a highly regarded host known for her engaging and insightful interviews, creating a dynamic mix of analysis, personality, and storytelling.
Ian Eagle, one of the most respected voices in sports broadcasting, has been tapped as the online retailer’s lead play-by-play announcer.
Known for his sharp commentary and engaging style, Eagle brings a wealth of experience that will elevate Amazon’s in-game coverage.
Additionally, Amazon is reportedly in talks with NBA icon Dwyane Wade to secure his involvement, either as a studio analyst or contributing to live game broadcasts.
Wade’s addition would further solidify the lineup, bringing another layer of expertise and charisma to the team.
This move underscores the E-commerce giant’s ambitions in sports media as it looks to compete with established networks like ESPN and TNT.
