Amazon stops Stan van Gundy as an NBA analyst per report

While Amazon continues to fill out his squad as an NBA legal protection officer before his first season, the streamer has added a significant name.

According to Andrew Marchand from The Athletic, Amazon Stan Van Gundy has stopped as a game analyst. It is unclear whether the former NBA head coach will work together with the play-by-play man Ian Eagle, which the global trade giant has already stopped as a play-1 announcement of Play-by-Play.

In addition, Amazon hired the ex-ESPner Cassidy Hubbarth as a top secondary reporter and conducted discussions with Kevin Harlan from TNT and Minnesota Timberwolves Voice Michael Grady for a potential play-by-play position. In the meantime, Taylor Rooks, Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki will include the streamer's studio show. Marchand reports that Amazon also expressed interest in Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash and Richard Jefferson for analyst roles.

With regard to Van Gundy, his move to Amazon is the latest chapter in his media career, which initially started with a recurring co-moderator role The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotze. After his four -year -old run as head coach of the Detroit Piston, he became the game analyst for ESPN in 2018 before jumping to Turner Sports Sports a year later.

Van Gundy's first stay with TNT only lasted one season when he returned to the coaching ranks to become the head coach of New Orleans Pelicans in 2020 before returning to Turner after only one year. The 65-year-old-born California not only called NBA programs for TNT, but also referred to games for TNT and CBS 'reporting on the NCAA-Männer-Basketball tournament by TNT and CBS, although it is not clear whether, according to Marchand, it is being further developed in this role.

Similar to his younger brother Jeff, Stan van Gundy has become a fan favorite thanks to his unique mix of humor and brutal honesty. And so that Amazon does not worry that he will return to the sidelines, he said in February that he was fully awaiting the rest of his career as a broadcasting system.
