Dirk Nowitzki Joins Prime Video as NBA Analyst Ahead of Season Tipoff

The move comes as Prime Video assembles a new studio team following TNT’s exit from NBA broadcasts.

Overview

  • Nowitzki announced the role in Würzburg during an event tied to two newly donated courts from his foundation and the Dallas Mavericks.
  • He will analyze games for Prime Video’s U.S. production in English from Culver City, beginning with the Oct. 21 start of the NBA season.
  • Prime Video’s multi-year rights include the new NBA Cup and the Conference Finals in six of the eleven contract years.
  • The 2011 NBA champion joins an on-air lineup that includes Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade and Blake Griffin.
  • Calling the job a new challenge, the 47-year-old said he intends to “bite in” and shed any Mavericks bias as German basketball enjoys a strong moment.
