The Brooklyn Nets are in the midst of their preparation for the 2025 NBA Draft with the Draft Combine happening in Chicago this week. There are plenty of players and coaches that have come through Brooklyn in their search to find their place in the league and while some stick around, there are some who go on to create their own lanes within the league.

Former Nets head coach Steve Nash will be joining Amazon Prime's NBA coverage for next season, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Currently, Nash is co-hosting the "Mind The Game" podcast with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James as James seeks to make his way into the media portion of the NBA, something that could be his second career very soon.

As Amazon announced following the report, Nash will be Udonis Haslem, Dwyane Wade, and Candace Parker, three players that have made their impact on the game of basketball in their own way. Following Stein's report, former Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki confirmed that he will be part of the team as well and is looking forward to doing what he did for Nash during their playing days in Dallas.

Nash is one of the greatest players to ever step on an NBA floor as the Hall-of-Famer was a two-time league MVP, named to the NBA's 75th anniversary team, and led the league in assists five times during his 18-year career. Nash is best known for his time with the Phoenix Suns as he won both of his MVP awards while with the Suns, but he also spent six of his first eight years in the Association with the Mavericks.

After his playing career ended, Nash tried to perform a second act in the NBA by way of being a head coach with the Nets from 2020 to 2022. Nash's time as Brooklyn head coach coincided with one of the most exciting eras in franchise history given that Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden were all on the roster at one point when the team was considered a championship contender.

Nash's coaching career with Brooklyn began swimmingly as he led the team to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals before losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in seven games. By the time Nash's coaching tenure with the Nets was over less than two years later, he finished with a 94-67 record, showing that Nash had some good moments with the franchise when there wasn't drama going on.

Steve Nash is joining Amazon Prime's NBA studio and game coverage starting next season alongside his former teammate Dirk Nowitzki, per @TheSteinLine.
