Former LA Clippers star Blake Griffin announced his retirement last season. Selected first overall by LA in the 2009 NBA draft, Griffin played 13 NBA seasons and made six All-Star teams. With five All-NBA selections and career averages of 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists, Griffin has a strong case for the Hall of Fame.

Spending the last season of his career with the Boston Celtics, Griffin was an important veteran presence who helped that team a lot before they eventually won an NBA championship the next year. Now retired, Griffin could be staying around the NBA in a different capacity going forward.

In a recent article, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported that Griffin and Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki are “names to watch” for Amazon Prime’s analyst position alongside NBA play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle.

Via Marchand: “Amazon Prime Video agreed with Ian Eagle to be its No. 1 play-by-play announcer but has yet to hire any analyst. Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Jefferson and Stan Van Gundy are some names to watch.”
