Amazon Prime Video continues to fill out its broadcasting team ahead of its first season of NBA coverage in 2025/26, with Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports reporting that Dell Curry is joining Amazon’s coverage as an analyst, while Richard Deitsch of The Athletic says Brent Barry is coming aboard as a game analyst and Kevin Harlan is being hired as a play-by-play man.
Curry, the father of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, has been a color commentator on Hornets broadcasts since 2009. McCarthy speculates that Amazon’s deal with Dell could be a “preliminary chess move” to recruit his son if Steph decides to go into broadcasting himself after he retires as a player.
Barry has spent time in the Spurs’ front office and most recently served as a Suns assistant coach under Mike Budenholzer in 2024/25, but he has plenty of broadcasting experience as well, having previously worked as an analyst for Turner Sports and NBA TV from 2013-18.
Harlan’s voice will be familiar to NBA fans, as he has been calling games on Turner Sports for the last three decades. He’ll continue to call NFL games for CBS Sports too while working with Amazon for NBA broadcasts beginning this fall.
Amazon Prime Video’s broadcasting roster will also reportedly include analysts Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Candace Parker, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Stan Van Gundy, and Udonis Haslem, as well as studio host Taylor Rooks, sideline reporter Cassidy Hubbarth, and play-by-play announcers Ian Eagle and Michael Grady.
Amazon is expected to formally announce its full NBA coverage team soon, per McCarthy. The company will be one of three that broadcasts NBA games nationally for the next 11 years, along with Disney (ABC/ESPN) and NBC.
I don’t know who will gush more over Steph…Dell or Reggie Miller.
Dell does pretty good when the Hornets play the Warriors. Doesn’t really “gush” over either kid.
Reggie miller talking about Steph is like cris collinsworth talking about Patrick mahomes
Harlan is an excellent get. He seems to land on some funny, off-the-wall strand of thought in most broadcasts.
Harlan is the best in the business.
How many games is Amazon broadcasting? That’s close to 15 analysts. Do they really need that many?
Harlan has a great voice but is actually lousy at what he does. He doesn’t seem to study up much on players or teams and seems genuinely lost if he has to talk about the game. He just good for yelling out after a made basket. Brings nothing positive to a broadcast besides the yell and loud talking. He and Reggie were a brutal at best listen, would mostly mute them.
Harlan is doing football for that entire season though. Yes it is 1 game but he still has to do the meetings during week and prepare. Not really going to expect him to give full analysis to a NBA regular season game. What in depth analysis can really be done in today NBA most teams jacking up 3s.
His only job is play by play. The other guy is there for knowledge.

That’s literally the only reason lol.
How much money did they offer d-wade and nash and dirk in order to get them to be analysts??? Not even espn could throw enough money at them
ESPN want puppets not free speaking analysts.
