Amazon Prime announced a star-studded quartet of analysts for its first season of NBA coverage in 2025-26, with Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade, Candace Parker and Udonis Haslem joining the streaming service’s NBA on Prime team.

Amazon reached an 11-year, $20 billion deal as an NBA rightsholder, with TNT no longer broadcasting the league next season for the first time in 34 years. ESPN and NBC also are NBA television rightsholders next season.

According to The Stein Line, Nash’s former teammate with the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, also is expected to have a role in Amazon Prime’s coverage.

Nash, 51, was named NBA MVP twice in a Hall-of-Fame career that spanned 18 seasons and ended in 2014 after he was named an All-Star for the eighth time. He went on to be the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, compiling a 94-67 record starting in 2020 before he was fired early in the 2022-23 season.

Wade, 43, played 16 seasons while also earning Hall-of-Fame honors, was a three-time NBA champion and 13-time All-Star. All but 106 of his 1,054 career games played came with the Miami Heat.

Parker, 39, most recently was a studio analyst at TNT following a decorated career in which she was a three-time WNBA champion and seven-time All-Star. Parker was named WNBA MVP in 2008 and 2013 with the Los Angeles Sparks. The Chicago-area native played 13 of her 16 seasons in Los Angeles.

Haslem, 44, went undrafted out of Florida before he amassed a 20-season NBA career, all with the Heat. He is one of just three NBA players to spend 20 seasons with just one team, along with Nowitzki and Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Haslem won three titles as Wade’s teammate in Miami.
