Yesterday, John Wall announced he is retiring from basketball<\/a>; it didn\u2019t take long for his next move to be revealed. NBA on Prime, Amazon Prime\u2019s NBA coverage, announced that Wall is joining the platform as an analyst.<\/p>\n

This will be Amazon\u2019s first season showing NBA games. Amazon will stream games exclusively on Friday nights through December before adding Thursday and Saturday games later in the season. The knockout round of the NBA Cup in December will stream exclusively on Prime Video. In total, 66 NBA games will be streamed on the platform this season. <\/p>\n

According to Michael Lee<\/a>, Wall will be on Amazon\u2019s studio show, which also includes former NBA stars Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki, and will be hosted by Taylor Rooks. Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, and Candace Parker will rotate between studio and commentary duties. The broadcasting roster also includes analysts Stan Van Gundy, Dell Curry, Brent Barry, and Udonis Haslem, along with sideline reporters Cassidy Hubbarth, Allie Clifton, and Kristina Pink, and play-by-play announcers Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle, Michael Grady, and Eric Collins.<\/p>\n

In his interview with Lee, Wall said he\u2019s looking forward to sharing thoughts on the game with fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you never really had the opportunity to sit down and talk to me, you won\u2019t really understand how much I love basketball, where my basketball mind is at, where my IQ is,\u201d Wall said. \u201cI can basically tell you the best player in the country \u2014 from girls to boys, high school, to the players that\u2019s in college, to the people that\u2019s at the NBA and WNBA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wall has some broadcast experience, working a few G League Winter Showcase games on ESPN and NBATV last season. <\/p>\n

After a thrilling year at Kentucky, Wall was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. He became a five-time NBA All-Star (2014\u20132018) and earned All-NBA honors in 2017. Unfortunately, injuries cut his career short, but I\u2019m looking forward to hearing his talk about the game from the sidelines. Sure, we all had our hopes up that his \u201cnew chapter\u201d would include a spot on Mark Pope\u2019s staff, but this is a nice consolation.<\/p>\n
