Blake Griffin In Talks To Become 'The Face' Of Amazon's NBA Coverage 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 30, 2024 6:25 pm

Blake Griffin is in talks to join Amazon Prime Video in a significant broadcasting role when they begin broadcasting the NBA in 25-26. One source said Griffin could become "the face" of Prime's coverage in a role akin to Charles Barkley with TNT.


It is not clear if Griffin would be a game or studio analyst. 


Griffin has also received interest from NBC and ESPN. Griffin announced his retirement this past April. 


“A lot of people are very interested in him,” said one source. “Blake is making the rounds.”

I've always found BG genuinely uninteresting. We'll see how he does.

Lol, this is a bad start compared to Inside the NBA. No disrespect to Blake, but so far that's not really a great start for a replacement.

I really hope TNT ends up being able to keep the NBA honestly. Amazon's UI is just clunky in general but even more so for LiveTV.
