Thu May 01 02:50:00 UTC 2025: ## NBA Legend Steve Nash Joins Amazon Prime’s Broadcast Team
**New York, NY** – Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash is trading his coaching clipboard for a microphone, joining Amazon Prime’s burgeoning NBA broadcast team for the upcoming season. The announcement comes as Amazon launches its landmark 11-year, $20 billion NBA broadcasting deal, solidifying its position alongside ESPN and NBC as a major player in NBA coverage.
Nash will contribute to both studio shows and game coverage starting in October. He joins a growing roster of talent, including studio host Taylor Rooks, fellow analyst and former teammate Dirk Nowitzki, and analyst Blake Griffin. This marks Nash’s first foray into full-time NBA broadcasting, though he brings experience from his previous work with Turner Sports covering the UEFA Champions League and creating NBA content for TNT and Bleacher Report.
Nash’s recent work as a co-host on LeBron James’ “Mind The Game” podcast further showcases his growing media presence. His appointment comes after a stint as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, a role he left mid-season. While linked to coaching vacancies, including his former team, the Phoenix Suns, Stein reports that Nash does not intend to use this broadcasting opportunity as a stepping stone back to coaching.
The reunion between Nash and Nowitzki on Amazon’s team is particularly noteworthy, given their successful years together with the Dallas Mavericks from 1998 to 2004. Their partnership saw the Mavericks reach the Western Conference Finals in 2003, and they compiled a remarkable 222-106 record from 2000-2004. Nowitzki, of course, went on to lead the Mavericks to an NBA title in 2011.
