Prime Video is stepping up its NBA coverage this season, but there's a twist: while the streaming giant won't broadcast the NBA Finals in the United States, it's rolling out an ambitious international production for the championship series everywhere else. Amazon has built a massive 1,200-square-meter set in Culver City, right in the heart of the MGM studios, to host a star-studded panel of commentators for the season's final game.
According to our sources, French basketball veteran Nicolas Batum will be part of that lineup. The Clippers forward, known for his versatility on the court, will bring that same adaptability to the broadcast booth. Batum, who is also slated to provide commentary for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup on TF1, will deliver his analysis in English. For viewers in France, the show will be presented with subtitles, making it accessible to a global audience.
This move underscores the growing trend of international talent crossing over into media roles, and for basketball fans, it's a chance to hear insights from a player who's been in the trenches. Whether you're watching from Paris or Los Angeles, this broadcast promises a fresh perspective on the biggest stage in the sport.
