Dirk Nowitzki is apparently returning to the NBA world five years after his career ended, at least nationwide and possibly even in Germany.
Dirk Nowitzki is an absolute NBA legend not only in Germany, but also in the USA. One of the best foreign players to ever step on an NBA court.
This is one of the reasons why, immediately after his career ended, there were rumors about when and where the German might be able to take on a job as a TV expert.
As US media reports, the Würzburg native is now actually facing such a commitment – and with “Amazon Prime”.
The 45-year-old is then supposed to classify the top matches for the (streaming) giant’s customers. Amazon has secured the rights to the NBA for the first time from the 2025/26 season.
In the USA, “Amazon” shares this with the major broadcasters “ABC”, “NBC” and “ESPN”.
Amazon Prime has acquired global rights to the NBA, which will include around 100 games per season for eleven years from the 2025/26 season – these can then also be seen in Germany on Prime Video. Nowitzki’s signing could also be aimed at this background.
As usual, the NBA is currently running live every weekend on ProSieben Maxx, Joyn and in the live stream in the ran app and on ran.de.
