Oklahoma City: So, Kevin Harlan is about to join Amazon to call NBA games. How cool is that? He’s been a familiar voice in sports for ages.

According to a report, he’ll be the second play-by-play announcer for Amazon when they kick off their NBA coverage later this year. Ian Eagle is set to be the top guy, which is pretty exciting too.

Harlan, who’s 64, is already known for his work with TNT Sports and has done NFL and college football for CBS. It’s a big move for him.

Amazon is also bringing in some former NBA stars like Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin for their studio show starting in the 2025-26 season. They’re really making a splash in the sports world.

They’re still figuring out who will be the game analysts alongside Harlan and Eagle. Names like Dwyane Wade and Richard Jefferson are in the mix, which could be interesting.

Plus, there’s talk about Charles Barkley possibly joining the team. That would definitely add some flair to their broadcasts.

With Amazon paying around $1.8 billion for NBA rights, they’re serious about making a mark. This deal follows their success with NFL’s “Thursday Night Football.” It’s an exciting time for sports fans!
