Steve Nash’s Surprising New Role with Amazon Prime Could Change NBA Broadcasting Forever

Steve Nash is diving headfirst into the bustling world of NBA broadcasting, trading in his point guard shoes for a spot on Amazon Prime’s NBA coverage starting this fall. It’s a fresh chapter for the two-time MVP who, after dazzling on the hardwood and navigating the rocky terrain of coaching, is carving out a new niche in media. This move isn’t just a side hustle—it’s part of Amazon’s heavyweight $20 billion NBA rights deal, positioning the platform alongside giants like ESPN and NBC. And get this: Nash won’t be flying solo; former Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin will be right there with him, blending past court chemistry into studio chemistry. What’s intriguing is how Nash, fresh off co-hosting the popular “Mind The Game” podcast with LeBron James, is embracing broadcast work not as a stepping stone back to coaching, but as a distinct passion project. The blending of his analytic mind and insider know-how promises a fresh, insightful voice for fans tuning in next season. I’m honestly pretty stoked to see how this trio shakes things up come tip-off. <ahref="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/sources-hall-of-famer-steve-nash?utmsource=post-email-title&publicationid=392205&postid=162424033&utmcampaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=282&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email”>LEARN MORE
