Adam Silver Endorses Prime Video’s NBA Studio, Signaling Frustration With Narrative-Driven Coverage

He highlighted an educational approach that uses on-court demonstrations with modern technology.

Overview

  • The commissioner made his remarks during Prime Video’s pregame show for the NBA Cup Final between the Knicks and Spurs.
  • Silver lauded the crew’s chemistry as “fantastic,” called the studio “off the charts,” and singled out the floor demonstrations and tech as standout elements.
  • He said he has been frustrated by coverage that reduces outcomes to simplistic notions like who “wanted it more,” without naming any specific networks.
  • Prime’s studio team features Taylor Rooks, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Blake Griffin, and Udonis Haslem.
