Amazon adds Kevin Harlan, analysts to NBA broadcasts

Amazon Prime Video has hired veteran broadcaster Kevin Harlan to call NBA games during the 2025-26 season, the streamer announced Thursday.

Amazon, which is part of the new 11-year, $76 billion NBA rights deal that takes effect this fall, also confirmed the hirings of Brent Barry, Dell Curry and Stan Van Gundy as analysts.

Harlan called games for Turner Sports for 30 seasons -- 1996 to 2025 -- before Turner lost its rights. He will continue as a top voice for CBS calling NFL games.

Harlan's move to Amazon had been rumored for months, and he addressed the topic in February on "The Sports Media Podcast."

"With TNT losing the rights, and it's very sad there, it clearly has made a sea change for most of us and navigating that is always a challenge," Harlan said. "I am in my 60s and to have someone with a bright new shiny opportunity for someone at my stage of this career, which is dominated by younger broadcasters and incredibly talented people, to have them want me to join their roster is humbling and incredibly gratifying."

Barry, who played 14 years in the NBA, also has worked as a broadcaster as well as stints in the front office of the San Antonio Spurs and as an assistant coach with the Phoenix Suns.

Curry, the father of NBA players Stephen Curry and Seth Curry, played 16 NBA seasons with five franchises. He works as a color commentator for the Charlotte Hornets.

Van Gundy began broadcasting with ESPN in 2018 before moving to TNT in 2019. He was a head coach in the NBA for 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Pelicans.

Harlan joins fellow play-by-play announcers Ian Eagle, Michael Grady and Eric Collins in the Amazon fold. Cassidy Hubbarth, Allie Clifton and Kristina Pink are the sideline reporters.
