Prime Video reveals lineup for landmark NBA Finals coverage for the Philippines

Prime Video is set to pull out all of the stops as it set to make history with their exclusive coverage of the 2026 NBA Finals for the Philippines, which officially starts on June 4 at 830am between the Eastern Conference champions, the New York Knicks, as they travel to Texas to face their Western Conference counterparts, the San Antonio Spurs.

To conclude its historic inaugural season as one of the NBA's broadcast partners, Prime Video has revealed its on-air broadcast team set to deliver studio analysis and play-by-play game coverage.

Using its state-of-the-art NBA on Prime studio in Culver City, Prime Video will have a studio team able to provide Championship-winning expertise while also integrating an international flavor. Leading the pool of rotating analysts are Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famers Vlade Divac and Chris Bosh, alongside a couple of great Euro ballers with vast NBA experience in Danilo Gallinari and Nico Batum.

Batum is a four-time Olympian for France and just completed his eighteenth season in the league with a multitude of teams, the latest being the Los Angeles Clippers in his second stint with the team. Already armed with experience from covering major international tournaments, including last year's Eurobasket, he can provide an active player's views for the broadcast.

Bosh spent thirteen seasons in the NBA, having been named as an NBA All-Star eleven times. The Georgia Tech alum won two titles alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade with the Miami Heat in the previous decade. Post-play, he has served as an analyst when TNT held Players Only broadcasts back when they had the league's rights.

Gallinari recently retired after sixteen seasons in the league, becoming the highest-scoring Italian in the NBA. He has served guest analyst roles for a variety of teams, whether with the radio coverage of the Denver Nuggets, the NBA G League, and in the Olympics.

As for Divac, he amongst the pioneers for Europeans in the league, whether on and off the court. A former first round pick of the Los Angeles Lakers, he also spent time with the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings, with the latter having also served as their general manager, allowing the coverage to have a viewpoint from a team executive lens.

Completing the Finals cast are two of Prime Video's sideline reporters throughout the NBA season in Allie Clifton and Kristina Pink. The latter will reprise her role for the NBA Finals, capturing the scenes in both San Antonio and New York, while the former will host the studio coverage.

The 2026 NBA Finals is a rematch of the 1999 edition, the last time the Knicks made it this far, when they were the 8-seed and anchored by the likes of Allan Houston, Latrell Sprewell. Larry Johnson, and Marcus Camby. They lost in five games to a team anchored by David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

In addition, it is a rematch of the this season's NBA Cup title game, which the Knicks won, 124-113, last December. OG Anunoby led New York with 28 points, while Jalen Brunson added 25 in becoming the NBA Cup MVP. They are now currently on an eleven-game winning streak, having swept both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers during this stretch.

Meanwhile, the Spurs are fresh from eliminating the defending champions Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games, ensuring that the league will have eight different franchises win the Larry O'Brien Trophy in the last eight seasons, the longest such stretch in its history.
