Amazon adds TNT Analyst Stan van Gundy to the NBA game reporting next season: Sources

The Stan van Gundy from TNT was made by Amazon Prime Video as a game analyst for his upcoming NBA The athlete.

The 65 -year -old van Gundy enters Ian Eagle in Prime Video's Game TV. While Prime Eagle described as a Play 1-play-by-play announcer, he plans to name his top game analysts.

It has shown interest in Richard Jefferson, who has just been promoted to ESPNS No. 1 -Crew with Mike Breen and Doris Burke. Jefferson's contract expires after calling the NBA final for ABC in June.

Amazon conducted talks with Kevin Harlan from TNT and the voice of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Michael Grady, as other play-by-play callers in his crews. Dwyane Wade and Steve Nash are candidates for analyst roles, according to sources, who have been informed about discussions.

Amazon will have Taylor Rooks as a lead studio presenter. Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki are already signed as two of his analysts before the game and after the game. Prime has ESPNS Cassidy Hubbarth as Lead Sideline Reporter.

An Amazon spokesman rejected a statement.

Van Gundy was not just a staple for NBA reporting, first with ESPN and then with TNT, but was with TNT/CBS 'Herren -Ncaa tournament reporting. It is indefinite when he will continue this role.

Next season, the NBA will start with the new 11-year-old 76-billion dollar agreements with the reigning ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock and Amazon Prime Video.

NBC will have Mike Tirico, Noah Eagle and probably Terry Gannon as his three best play-by-play callers. It added Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller as game analysts. Carmelo Anthony is already registered in the studio.

ESPN has concluded a license agreement with TNT Sports to bring his “Inside the NBA” show with Charles Barkley to ABC/ESPN next season.

In this post-season, TNT Sports closes its more than three decades as a home of the NBA games.
