Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, former Miami Heat teammates and close friends, are set to reunite in Amazon Prime's NBA coverage starting next season. Wade will take on a hybrid role involving studio and game work, alongside former NBA star Steve Nash and WNBA MVP Candace Parker. Haslem, who recently progressed within ESPN, joins the primary studio team with Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki. The announcement emphasizes their long-term partnership, stemming from three championships and 15 years of camaraderie. Haslem expressed a desire to maintain authenticity and energy in his new role.
This next chapter is about staying true to who I am - bringing energy, authenticity and that same winning mind-set to every show, said Haslem.
Wade and Haslem won three NBA championships together and were teammates for 15 years, the third-longest teammate partnership in NBA history.
Last summer, Wade worked for NBC during the Olympic basketball tournament before Amazon provided him the chance for game coverage.
Just being there for each other is what Haslem termed the biggest takeaway of their friendship, highlighting their support through personal hardships.
