Kyle Lowry Eyes Amazon NBA Role Amid Retirement Speculation, Hints Blake Griffin
  • Amazon's NBA on Prime Video already features a star-studded lineup, including Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Udonis Haslem, Candace Parker, Steve Nash, and host Taylor Rooks.

  • At 39 years old, Lowry signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 NBA season.

  • Lowry's performance this past season was challenging, averaging just 3.9 points and 2.7 assists per game, largely due to a hip injury.

  • Despite a disappointing season for the Sixers, Lowry remains committed to helping the organization succeed, emphasizing that the city deserves a top team.

  • As speculation grows about his retirement, Lowry's potential transition into media raises questions about whether he could balance both playing and correspondent duties.

  • Griffin revealed the news about Lowry's potential role during his appearance on the podcast 'Pardon My Take', although he was uncertain if it had been officially announced.

  • To prepare for their show, Griffin mentioned that the crew maintains a group chat to build chemistry, with the show set to air on Fridays and transition to Thursdays later in the year.

  • Griffin expressed excitement about collaborating with former players and aims to deliver insightful yet light-hearted analysis during the coverage.

  • The show intends to focus on lesser-known NBA storylines rather than just high-profile teams like the Lakers and Celtics.

  • During a recent podcast appearance, Blake Griffin hinted that Kyle Lowry, a six-time NBA All-Star, may join Amazon's NBA coverage as a player correspondent starting next season.

  • Reports indicate that Amazon and NBC are actively exploring current NBA players for studio roles as they approach retirement, with Lowry being one of the names considered.

  • As a former champion with the Toronto Raptors, Lowry would be the latest addition to Amazon's lineup, which already includes Hall of Fame players and notable commentators.
