GRIFFIN, NOWITZKI WILL BE IN STUDIO FOR PRIME VIDEO >> Taylor Rooks, Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki will be part of the Prime Video studio show when the streamer begins its coverage of the NBA next season.

Griffin, who retired in April after a 15-year playing career, was at the top of the list for everyone. NBC, which will return to doing NBA games when the 11-year media rights deal begins in October, and ESPN were also interested in him.

Griffin was the first overall pick by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2009 NBA draft and was the league’s Rookie of the Year in 2011. He was a six-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection.

Nowitzki — a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team — will also be a first-time analyst. The 14-time All-Star selection and 2007 NBA Most Valuable Player played 21 seasons, all with the Dallas Mavericks, before retiring in 2019. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023.

Rooks is a feature reporter on Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage as well as being a host and reporter on Bleacher Report and TNT.
