Amazon continues to add high-profile talent as it gets into business with the NBA.
Dwyane Wade and Candace Parker are expected to be part of Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage, sources told Front Office Sports. The deals are not finalized. An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment.
Wade would be joining as a hybrid game and studio analyst. Parker would be a studio analyst for both NBA and WNBA games. Wade was NBC’s top color commentator for men’s Olympics basketball in Paris last year. Parker has been a longtime studio analyst for the NBA on TNT.
The Athletic previously reported that Wade has talked to Amazon, and reported earlier Tuesday that Stan Van Gundy will be a color commentator for the streaming service. Veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein broke the news Tuesday that Steve Nash will be an analyst in games and in the studio for them.
Amazon has previously announced Taylor Rooks, Blake Griffin, and Dirk Nowitzki for its studio team. Ian Eagle and Kevin Harlan are expected to be the company’s top two play-by-play broadcasters.
